In 2013 the city of Dallas was number one in 2013 from a poll by Harris Interactive when Dallas was named the happiest city in America. GuideLive has reported there has been a change and it’s as big as Texas. Dallas fell hard and in the November 2017 issue of National Geographic has crowned BOULDER, COLORADO as the Happiest city in America.
Followed by No. 2 SANTA CRUZ-WATSONVILLE, CA, No. 3 CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA No. 4 FORT COLLINS, COLORADO, No. 5 SAN LUIS OBISPO, CALIFORNIA
Oh, how the mighty have fallen in four years.

And Anchorage, Alaska ranked No. 10, and surprisingly Honolulu, Hawaii was No. 15…… Dallas, didn’t even make the Top 25. One City in Texas did make a mark in the Top 25 and that was Austin. AUSTIN???!!!!
What determined the number one? According to National Geographic, Boulder has clean mountain air, more people walk to work than any other city in the U.S. and another factor is low rates of smoking and obesity, and high rates of exercise.
