Top 10 Happiest Cities in Montana…Then My List.
Well this "survey" is obviously done by outsiders. U.S Census bureau and FBI crime statistics have released the 10 happiest cities in Montana. I don't agree .
A recent "survey", I say it in quotes because I really don't know if I believe this, has named the top 10 happiest cities in Montana. They have factored in crime rate, restaurants, commute, departure time, income, divorce rate and housing to find the happiest places. Having been to most of these I would've made a MUCH different list.
10. Missoula
9. Belgrade
8. Whitefish
7. Billings
6. Laurel
5. Great Falls
4. Helena
3. Bozeman
2. Havre
1. Miles City
I have had to travel to both Havre and Miles City when I was young, quite a bit and I actually lived in Miles City for a short period later in my life too. Neither would I necessarily categorize as "happiest" not bad but just not the top of the list for me anyway.
Here is my list of top happiest cities ( which is 5,000 population or more) in Montana.
10. Miles City
9. Havre
8. Billings
7. Livingston
6. Helena
5.Belgrade
4. Kalispell
3. Bozeman
2. Whitefish
1. Missoula
