According to a recently published study, our City’s residents are among the happiest in the nation. In fact, Irvine earned the No. 5 spot in WalletHub’s Happiest Cities in America ranking.
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.
Irvine was the only Southern California city to earn a spot in the Top Ten. (Fremont, San Jose, and San Francisco were also named among the 10 happiest cities in America.)
