I’m not surprise Louisiana appears to be the happiest state. I’ve lived all over and there is no place like Louisiana. We are all fat and happy here.

Happy even in the dangerous city of New Orleans?

To follow up my above response.... It looks like big cities like New York and the Midwest are much less happy than other regions.

Yes. New Orleans is a fun place. It’s just like any big city, be street smart.

At least it may be a survey of where people actually are happy, and not of places where they are supposed to be happy in the survey-takers opinion. Maybe it has more to do with contentedness that with that elusive thing called true happiness, though.
It looks like people in highly stressed or depressed environments, like Detroit and Long Island, aren't happy. Not really a surprise. Also people who live in cities that are in the orbit of other wealthier places -- people who live in Springfield, MA rather than Connecticut or Vermont, or in Scranton or Buffalo, rather than New York City.

So basically liberals are miserable people. How much were they paid for this study?!? I could have told them that for free, but next time I won’t.

Noticed that patten too and it reflects my general experience talking with people all over the U.S. for 20 + years experience. The crabbiest people by far I’ve spoken to are from New York, Illinois, and California. Which are all red states,. Most have been in the big cities though. The people in the rural areas out there are a little less hostile in nature.

The South is fairly happy, as are the mountain states. The area south and east of the Great Lakes is very unhappy, while the west coast is unhappy.
The happiness seems to correlate well with amount of sunshine, which is quite common. I would suspect that this survey was done in the cooler months, when the west coast and the Great-Lake areas get lots of gloomy clouds and rain.

RED = UNHAPPIEST ; BLUE = HAPPIEST That tells us who put this all together. good catch.
However, you will notice that the unhappiest states seem to be the liberal states regardless of their little color scheme. The population is leaving the liberal states to move to the conservative states. They don't say that but it is pretty obvious.

Speaking of seasons, climates and weather, this reminds me... the map does not include Alaska and Hawaii and the territories...
