Yes! According to the Institute for Quality of Life's Happy City Index each year, NYC (the Big Apple) is the happiest city in the United States!

Of course, the concept of happiness is subjective. However, the Institute for Quality of Life ranks cities that are “Committed to cultivating and growing happiness.”

Each destination is analyzed using 82 indicators such as housing affordability and renewable energy resources. The final ranking was also determined by conducting interviews with residents.

New York City scored high in the categories of economic performance, education and mobility.

New York City is an astounding 2.6 percent of the U.S. Population and s the nation's driving force in the nation's economy.

The report also described NYC as an “intellectual and technological powerhouse and New Yorkers are viewed as placing a high value on education and our digital skills “widespread.”

The report also focused on NYC's transportation system saying it performed well. “New York's transport infrastructure is vast and complex, supporting millions of daily commuters.” “With a green mobility share of 40%, the city continues to expand it's sustainable transit options. The report observes, an intelligent traffic management system optimizes movement, while digital payment options streamline public transport access.”
