This is the wildest methodology ever. Pick 30 metrics, give them arbitrary weights, and be sure to not ask anyone how happy they are.
High correlation between being poor and miserable, voting Republican and being miserable.
I’m surprised Hawaii is at the top given all the issues I’ve heard about them having out there
We’ve got 300 days of sunshine on the front range of Colorado, and everyone is hiking 14ers all day so we’re quite healthy. Do we work more than other states? I don’t get it.
We moved to Hawaii in July and are quite happy we did.
Surprised CO isn’t higher. People that live there never shut the fuck up about how amazing it is to live there.
Lives in a boot.
Unhappy.
It checks out.
Get it, NJ, #3??
“Following next in line is New Jersey, with residents reporting the second-highest levels of life satisfaction nationwide”, and the highest levels of evening aerial entertainment!
The Trumpier the state the greater the sorrow.
New Jersey is number three! We’re happiest when we are miserable
People always be hatin’ on NJ, but we’re #3.
Not surprised MN is up top. Lived a few different places and love it here!
Looks like cost of living wasn’t one of the factors, lol.
Knew before I even clicked on the link that Louisiana would be the least happy. What an absolute shithole of a state.
Maryland, one of the happiest states?? Get the fuck out of here. Have you talked to anyone who lives there? Probably not, because they’d sooner tell you to fuck off!
The Colors used are bizarre!
California is mid-green while Florida and VA are light green with virtually the same score.
So that Bible Belt.. “if we can’t be happy, nobody can be happy”
Maryland at #2 makes sense. I lived there and it was quite good. Mountains, beaches, parks, bike paths, lots of things to do and see.
As a New Yorker, I’m surprised to see us in the top 50.
Oh look another one of these awful “let’s accept 1500 cookies” websites…
Next round of mass migration?… Every year these kinds of articles stir up and die all of a sudden.
I guess high gas prices directly causes happiness.
Seems like plural marriage does work.
As a resident of Texas, I’m surprised we’re not lower than 38.

As someone from California I really have a hard time believing we’re that happy with the cost of everything here
Oh dang LA, what’s up? You guys need to talk 🥺?
What the hell is New Mexico so upset about?
So the methodology didn’t include actually speaking to anyone?
I love how MN is near the top even though weather is one of the variables. The sun goes down at 4pm right now. Everything else is that good.
I live in Maryland, one of the happiest states. But I live in a red county so I’m a miserable piece of shit and I hate it here. Yay?
I’d love to live in Hawaii but they wouldn’t be.
