Louisiana Ranked One of the Least Happy States in America

What are the happiest states in America? According to a new WalletHub survey, Louisiana isn't among them.

The top five are Utah, Minnesota, Hawaii, Colorado and North Dakota. So where does The Bayou State rank? Number 40, so not too great. But there are other states less happy than ours...and they're all in the south. They are Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, Alabama and -- at the very bottom -- West Virginia.

WalletHub compated the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 25 key metrics, ranging from emotional health to income levels to sports participation rates.

Here are some of the website's key stats:

Oregon’s depression rate is twice as high as Hawaii’s.

Montana’s suicide rate is four times as high as the District of Columbia’s.

The District of Columbia’s long-term unemployment rate is four times as high as North Dakota’s.

West Virginia’s heart attack rate is three times as high as Utah’s.

Utah’s volunteerism rate is three times as high as Louisiana’s.

The District of Columbia’s divorce rate is twice as high as Utah’s.
