Detroit, Michigan finished as the unhappiest. Shreveport, Louisiana and Huntington, West Virginia rounded out the bottom three.

The report compared over 180 of the largest cities across 30 key indicators of happiness, ranging from the depression rate to the income-growth rate.

As far as the happiest states go, New Jersey ranked 5th, followed by Connecticut at 10th and New York at 23rd.

Newark also finished 2nd in a report of the dirtiest cities in the United States. New York City came in 12th.

Houston was named the dirtiest city.

The report cited the city's petrochemical facilities for polluting the air, as well as their high greenhouse gas emissions. It also noted that Houston has a big cockroach issue.

Virginia Beach, Virginia ranked best on the list.

Newark was listed as the dirtiest city in the previous report, so it improved one spot because of Houston.
