A Chicago Suburb Has Been Named One of the Happiest Places to Live

A Chicago suburb has been named one of the happiest places to live and it's Aurora!

According to WalletHub's new "2023's Happiest Cities in America" report, location can play a big role in how happy -- or unhappy-- people in different parts of the country are. To create the report, the finance website says it "drew upon various findings of positive-psychology research in order to determine which among more than 180 of the largest U.S. cities is home to the happiest people in America."

"We examined each city based on 30 key indicators of happiness," the report goes on to say, "ranging from the depression rate to the income-growth rate to average leisure time spent per day."

Here's which cities scored the highest -- or happiest, rather:

  1. Fremont, CA
  2. San Jose, CA
  3. Madison, WI
  4. Overland Park, KS
  5. San Francisco, CA
  6. Irvine, CA
  7. Columbia, MD
  8. Sioux Falls, SD
