Washington City Among The Most Miserable Cities In America

Many Americans move around to afford a better quality of life, while some can't live in the big city or cozy suburban communities. There are people who live in areas with poverty, high crime rates, and other unfortunate circumstances.

To get an idea of where these places are, 24/7 Wall St. found the "most miserable" cities in America. Researchers "reviewed the happiness score of all 383 metro areas in the U.S. from digital health company Sharecare’s Community Well-Being Index. The index measures communities’ overall health on the basis of 10 domains," including physical well-being, social relationships, financial health, housing, health care access, and more.

According to the study, one city in Washington state landed on the list: Longview. It's the largest city in Cowlitz County and over 37,000 people call it home. It has a long history in the lumber industry and manufacturing.
