LIFESTYLE Happiness

While money can't always buy happiness, a move to a new city might lead to a higher quality of life. A study from personal finance company WalletHub looked at 29 key happiness indicators in 182 of America's largest cities to find which ones had the happiest inhabitants. Those indicators fell under three categories: emotional and physical well-being, income and employment, and community and environment.

Intrigued to find out which cities made the top 30? Then check out the following slides.
