How Do You Determine What Makes A Montana City Happy?

After looking at statistics from the U.S. Census and the FBI Crime Database, Credit Donkey then used the following 7 factors to rank the happiest cities in Montana:

  1. Restaurants
  2. Crime Rate
  3. Commute
  4. Departure Time
  5. Income
  6. Divorce Rate
  7. Housing

With those 7 criteria, they started to rank the cities, and I think the results for the top two happiest cities might be shocking for residents of the Treasure State, but I'll let you be the judge of that by checking out the gallery of the 10 happiest cities in Montana below.
