This Iconic City Was Just Named the Happiest in the U.S.
Briefly

New York City has been identified as the happiest city in the U.S. by the Institute for Quality of Life, which uses various indicators such as economic performance and mobility for its rankings. The city shows strengths in education and technological innovation, supported by robust economic metrics. Despite these positives, a survey indicates only 30% of New Yorkers are satisfied with their quality of life, highlighting a disparity between external metrics and resident perceptions. The complexities of its transportation system also contribute to its happiness ranking but are coupled with challenges for residents.
"With a staggering budget of 187.18 billion GBP in 2024, the city accounts for 2.6 percent of the U.S. population and continues to be a driving force in the nation's economy, boasting a GDP per capita of 67,742 GBP and a robust growth rate of 2.9 percent."
"New York's transport infrastructure is vast and complex, supporting millions of daily commuters. With a green mobility share of 40 percent, the city continues to expand its sustainable transport options."
