Irvine Named 3rd Happiest City in America
According to a recently published study, our City’s residents are among the happiest in the nation.
In fact, Irvine earned the No. 3 spot in WalletHub’s Happiest Cities in America ranking. That’s up two spots from last year.
Analysts from WalletHub examined 29 key indicators of happiness — ranging from the depression rate to the income-growth rate to average leisure time spent per day — among residents in more than 180 cities across the country.
The study found that the majority of Irvine residents have a remarkably positive mental state, good physical health, low divorce rate, longer life expectancy, strong social connections, high job satisfaction, and financial well-being.

Mayor Agran’s Plan to Make Irvine the “Greenest City in America”
Mayor Larry Agran is on a mission to make Irvine the “Greenest City in America.” Last year, Irvine was ranked among the top ten greenest cities in the nation. But Mayor Agran is pressing forward with a number of projects to make the City even greener.
Irvine’s park system is currently ranked the best in California and the second best in the entire nation, according to the Trust for Public Land. The Mayor’s team is now developing an Urban Forest Master Plan that will add thousands more trees which will be aesthetically pleasing while helping to provide shade, clean the air, and cool our City.
The Mayor also wants the City to establish a large-scale solar rooftop and battery storage program to help Irvine residents significantly save on their monthly electricity bills and reduce our overall City carbon footprint.
In addition, Mayor Agran is looking for new opportunities for the City to acquire more open space and expand Irvine’s free shuttle bus service.
