WalletHub's newest study found the top 150 of the largest cities in the country and ranked them based on happiness. The study aimed to illustrate that "we can either attain or merely aspire to a happy life, depending on where we choose to live."

 

Three main dimensions were used: emotional and physical well-being, income and employment, and community and environment. Those categories were then separated into 30 key indicators of happiness, like emotional health, growth of income, and an individual's ideal type of weather.

Virginia Beach had a total score of 58.32, ranking as No. 67 in emotional and physical well-being, No. 81 in income and employment, and No. 33 in community and environment.
