By Lacey Eriksen

Updated October 20, 2020

Wilmington has been named the happiest city in Delaware, according to Zippia.com.

Their article “The 10 Happiest Cities for 2020” ranked cities based off the following criteria:

Being well educated (Population with at least a bachelor’s degree)
Percent of households earning above $75,000
Median home prices
A short commute to work (Traffic = unhappiness)
Having a family (Getting, and staying married, has a ton of happiness benefits, on average)

Over 600 cities were evaluated, and ultimately mid-sized communities beat out large cities.

The same criteria were also used to determine the happiest city in each state, which earned Wilmington the title!
