Happy and we know it
Zippia turned happiness into a science and scoured the country examining 600 cities to find those with all the ingredients for happiness:
- Being well educated (Population with at least a bachelor’s degree)
- Percent of households earning above $75,000
- Median home prices
- A short commute to work (Traffic = unhappiness)
- Having a family (Getting, and staying married, has a ton of happiness benefits, on average)
Zippia listed Sioux Falls as the happiest city in South Dakota.
