A recent analysis by the California State Assembly crowned Alpine County as the happiest in California, drawing on 215,801 survey responses, albeit from just 12 individuals.
Marin County scored a 'life satisfaction' of 7.4, positioning it just behind the Netherlands as the seventh-happiest country globally, reflecting a strong correlation between wealth and happiness.
The data suggests a clear divide in happiness levels across California, with coastal counties faring significantly better than their inland counterparts, which tend to be lower-income.
Overall, California's happiness levels are seeing a downward trend; a 2023 survey indicated that the percentage of residents identifying as 'not too happy' has risen from 13% in 1998 to 26%.
