Have you ever visited a city and got a good vibe from it? You know, a place that you said to yourself, “I could live here, this place seems nice.” We live in “The Happiest Place in the World,” Orlando in my opinion is pretty great.

On the other hand, I have 13 Aunts and Uncles and 46 cousins that live in Baltimore that aren’t the biggest fans, but somehow they made the list of the “Happiest Cities in America.”

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.

According to the results, the 10 happiest cities in America are: 

Minneapolis

Boston

Baltimore (Nope)

Washington, D.C. (Seriously?)

San Francisco

Salt Lake City

Madison, Wisconsin

Pittsburgh

Rochester, Minnesota

Portland, Oregon

Since the “Happy Index” messed this survey all up, let me step in. Here are a handful of places that I’ve personally been to that gave me that “This place is great” vibe. Let’s see if you agree:


Jay’s Top 10:

Asheville, NC

Charleston

San Diego

Boone, NC

Charlotte

Savannah

Clearwater

Kauai, HI

Dana Point, CA

Golden, CO

I’m pretty sure my list wins...
