- San Francisco
Alain Picard/Flickr The WalletHub report measured 30 indicators of happiness, including depression rate, income-growth rate, and amount of leisure time. It’s no surprise this diverse, inclusive city measured high on all marks.
- Oakland

- Santa Rosa
Jim G/Flickr The gorgeous city of Santa Rosa in Sonoma County is home to many happy people. Perhaps it has something to do with the abundance of wineries, like the Ledson Winery you see in the photo.
