Here is the story from Wallet Hub.
Colorado is Number 31---overall !
In order to determine the happiest states in America, WalletHub compared the 50 states across three key dimensions:
1) Emotional & Physical Well-Being,
Colorado was 23
2) Work Environment
Colorado was 22.
3) Community & Environment.
Colorado was 45.
Community & Environment - Total Points: 25
- Volunteer Rate: Half Weight (~1.67 Points)
- Ideal Weather: Triple Weight (~10.00 Points)
- Note: This metric is based on WalletHub’s “Cities with the Best & Worst Weather” ranking and was calculated as the average of the ranking for the top three cities by population in the state.
- Average Leisure Time Spent per Day: Double Weight (~6.67 Points)
- Separation & Divorce Rate: Full Weight (~3.33 Points)
- Safety: Full Weight (~3.33 Points)
