An annual study called the “Happy City Index” ranks the happiest cities in the world based on everything from economic factors to how good the schools are.
A bunch of cities in Europe top the list this year. Denmark and Germany both have two cities in the Top 10. #1 is Denmark’s second-largest city, Aarhus.
But one city in the U.S. isn’t too far behind. MINNEAPOLIS came in at #18.
It’s the only U.S. city to get their “gold” ranking. Ottawa was the only city in Canada to get it.
Now if we want to look at America alone New England does make it almost to the top! According to the results, the 5 happiest cities in America are:
Minneapolis
Boston
Baltimore
D.C.
San Francisco
Of the 250 cities they looked at, Johannesburg, South Africa ranked last.
