New For 2022: One of America’s Happiest Cities is in Wisconsin

Does money buy happiness? The answer is yes and no.

Sure if you make a ton of money, you might be happy.

On the other hand, if you have so much coin you could swim in it like Scrooge McDuck, but you live in a pitiful wasteland of a town, it won't matter all that much.

A new study by Wallethub outlined the happiest cities in America and lo and behold one of the cities where people are the most cheery is in Wisconsin.

It's a far cry from the news that came out last week mentioning Wisconsin as one of the least friendly states in the US.

WalletHub looked at three different metrics to figure out the happiest cities in America.

• Emotional & Physical Well-being
• Income & Employment
• Community and Environment

The happiest city in America is Fremont, California. They rank 1st in Emotional & Physical Well-Being and 2nd in Community and Environment. Both of those factors helped Fremont snag the top spot. Income and Employment were ranked 46th in Fremont. Good but not great. To me, Fremont is ripe to be picked off the list in 2023.

A little further down, coming in as the 6th happiest city in America, is Madison.

Madison could easily be considered the "happiest" city in the US because they rank in the 10s in all three metrics from WalletHub.

• 10th in Emotional & Physical Well-Being
• 11th in Income & Employment
• 19th in Community & Environment

Only Irvine, California seems to be in a better position to steal the top spot next year ranking 5th, 16th, and 12th in all three WalletHub categories.

The question is if you've lived in Madison, is it really one of the happiest cities in America?
