A pharmaceutical website called Nice Rx, did a study by drawing data from the CDC to determine what states rank the highest in overall happiness. The happiness factors used in the research were: life expectancy, overall safety, health, and economic status. Apparently, we killed it.
As the study goes, equal weight was given to each category to figure out what state has the happiest residents. They also dug into the least happy residents.
It turns out with all things considered, on a scale of 1-10 we got an 8.25...not too shabby. Money eases stress and apparently, we have a median household salary of $114,691 which is a start. Scroll down to see who beat us on the list!
