Try not to frown once you learn where Columbus ranks on Wallethub’s survey of the 180 happiest cities

WalletHub’s list of the country’s happiest cities is in for this year, and it may not put a spring in your step to learn where Columbus ranked.

The list was created by ranking the “dimensions” of emotional and physical well-being, income and employment, and community and environment in 180 different cities over 30 different relevant metrics and scoring them on a 100-point scale.

The list includes 152 of the country’s most-populated cities. For reference, Columbus is currently the country’s 14th-most populated city.

In case you were wondering, the new WalletHub list, which came out late last month, considers Fremont, California to be the country’s happiest, and Detroit, Michigan to be the least happy.
