Happiness Abounds in Hammonton, Millville, and Vineland

There's plenty of happiness in Hammonton, Millville, and Vineland these days.

That according to a website, creditdonkey.com, which produced a list of the happiest cities in New Jersey. according to the website:

We started by collecting U.S. Census data and FBI crime statistics for all of New Jersey's cities with a population of 10,000 or higher. To get our top 10, we assigned each of them a ranking based on how they rated across each of these seven categories:

1. Restaurants
2. Crime rate
3. Commute
4. Departure time
5. Income
6. Divorce rate
7. Housing

Heading out for dinner or drinks with friends is always a mood booster, and Jersey has some great spots to get together. We considered the number of restaurants per capita in each city so you'll know which ones offer the most variety.

If the crime rate in your home city makes you feel uneasy, it can give you a less than positive outlook. We checked out how safe the cities in our study are by looking at the odds of being the victim of a violent crime.

In its Top 10 list, Hammonton was ranked the 2nd happiest city in New Jersey, while Millville was 9th and Vineland 10th.

So, smile Hammontonians, Millvillians, and Vinelanders!
