A new WalletHub study just came out ranking more than 180 U.S. cities on how happy people say they feel. Fremont, California, took the top spot again this year. Right behind it was Bismarck, North Dakota. On the flip side, Detroit came in dead last, with Cleveland not far behind in the bottom five. It’s interesting to see where Cincinnati landed and what the numbers actually mean.
Who Came Out on Top and Who Struggled
Fremont scored highest overall at 74.09. They’re doing really well when it comes to emotional health and physical well-being. Bismarck wasn’t far off at 73.11, and Scottsdale, Arizona, rounded out the top three. Down at the bottom, Detroit was ranked 182nd out of 182. Memphis, Tennessee, was 181st. Shreveport, Louisiana, came in 180th. Cleveland was 179th, and Huntington, West Virginia, closed out the bottom five. Tough numbers for those cities.
