These Utah Cities Are Considered The Happiest In America

Are you happy?

That's a loaded question, we know. But what if we told you that your mood was dependent on where you live? "For years, researchers have studied the science of happiness and found that its key ingredients include a positive mental state, healthy body, strong social connections, job satisfaction and financial well-being," WalletHub said in its latest study.

Moving to a new city could make you happier — at least that's what WalletHub's new study is trying to prove. The finance website compiled a list of the happiest cities in the United States based on "30 key indicators of happiness, ranging from the depression rate to the income-growth rate to average leisure time spent per day," according to the study.

Here are the two Utah cities that made the list:

• Salt Lake City (#55)
• West Valley City (#81)

Here are the 10 happiest cities in the U.S., according to WalletHub:

1. Fremont, California
2. Columbia, Maryland
3. San Francisco, California
4. San Jose, California
5. Irvine, California
6. Madison, Wisconsin
7. Seattle, Washington
8. Overland Park, Kansas
9. Huntington Beach, California
10. San Diego, California
