Major Survey Names Idaho One of the Happiest States in America
If you were to take a survey right this second, would you be inclined to say that overall, you're a happy person? What about if the next question was about your closest circle-- family, friends, or workplace. Would you consider those 'spaces' or 'collectives' to be particularly happy?
If you're answering yes to any of the above--is it because of the place that we call home? Idaho!?
According to a recent set of survey results that measured all fifty States based on happiness--Idaho did pretty well!
Take a look at some of the finings from the survey-- is Idaho as happy as its findings claim!?

We're lucky to live in Idaho--but we could never top those amazing Hawaiian views! What a place to live!
What makes Idaho such a happy place? Well, we have some thoughts but first let's take a look at the data points implemented by Wallet Hub--according to their findings.
The survey ranked States based around three categories:
- Emotional and Physical Well Being
- Work Environment
- Community Environment
Broken down by category, Idaho ranked 29th in Emotional and Physical Well Being (which actually shocked us because we're so outdoorsy here), but did extraordinarily well, ranking SECOND, in both Work and Community Environment categories.
Impressive!
There's a lot of great things that go into making living in Idaho great--from the outdoor access and year-round 'buffet' of activities to our love for football (both Boise State and Idaho's viral Fightin' Taters).
Tell us in the comments what you think!
