To find the happiness level of each state and determine its rankings, the website measured all 50 states across 30 metrics, including depression rates, productivity, income growth, unemployment rates, sports participation rates, work environments, and even down to a state’s sleep rate.
After compiling the data, WalletHub revealed that Utah came out as the happiest state of all, specifically noting the state also has the highest volunteer rate, 40.7 percent.
Hawaii came in as the second happiest state, followed by Maryland, Minnesota, and New Jersey rounding out the top five. All five of the states scored high marks in the “emotional and well-being” category as well as “community and environment.”
