Hooray for Texas! Texans know and love the Lone Star State, and a new study reveals others are discovering the joy of Southern living, with one North Texas city ranked among the happiest places in America.

WalletHub released earlier this month its analysis of the happiest cities in the U.S., evaluating communities based on factors like income growth, depression rates, daily leisure time, physical health standards and environmental impacts. While researchers touted one Texas city among the most joyful nationally, Texas’ West Coast rival took home the No. 1 happiest city in the U.S.: Fremont, California.

Nestled in the San Francisco Bay area, Fremont earned an overall score of 74.09 and ranked No. 1 in emotional and physical wellbeing and No. 4 in community and environmental rankings. However, its income and employment analysis returned a No. 89 ranking, lower than its counterparts in the Top 10.

The South had a strong showing on the happiest front, with Top 10 positions awarded to Scottsdale, Arizona, Overland Park, Kansas, Charleston, South Carolina and Gilbert, Arizona. Over in Texas, the city of Plano nabbed the No. 16 spot, securing a Texas showing within the Top 25. Analysts praised the Dallas-area city for its emotional and physical wellbeing (No. 15) and community and environmental feel (No. 22) as part of their findings.

The closest Texas city to follow up? None other than the capital of Austin, which solidified the second of just two Lone Star communities touted for its happiness scales. Zeroing in on the Live Music Capital, Austin secured a No. 39 ranking and especially high praise for its income and employment rankings (No. 20).

“When deciding where to live to maximize your happiness, you’ll want to pick a city that offers more than just a decent average income,” WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo said in the report. “The ideal city provides conditions that foster good mental and physical health, like reasonable work hours, short commutes, good weather, and caring neighbors.”
