That’s according to Zippia, a career research hub that sought out the happiest places to live in Illinois.

“…what cities in your state have the secret sauce for happiness?

“Just like where you work and what you do, where you live can have major implications for your quality of life. We set out to find the cities in Illinois where life is sweetest, the wages are high, and people aren’t wasting their lives away in cars.”

Experts evaluated more than 339 cities to determine which ones appeared the happiest. They used the most recent American Community Survey data available, Zippia explains.
