A northern California city has been named the happiest city in America this year. 

The personal finance website WalletHub put Fremont on the top of its 2023 Happiest Cities in America rankings.

The report compared more than 180 of the largest cities across 30 key indicators of happiness, including the income-growth rate and depression rate. 

Fremont topped the list for the third consecutive year.
