I shared a link to a study on Facebook listing Wichita Falls as the 3rd happiest city in the state, and saw it shared all day long!
The study ranked cities based on:
-
Restaurants
-
Crime rate
-
Commute
-
Departure time
-
Income
-
Divorce rate
-
Housing
Here’s a closer look at how Wichita Falls settled out in all of those categories:
-
Restaurants per capita: 1 per 465 inhabitants
-
Odds of being the victim of a violent crime: 1 in 222.1
-
Average commute time: 14.7 minutes
-
Percentage of residents leaving for work before 5 a.m.: 4.8%
-
Median household income: $44,390
-
Percentage of residents who are divorced: 10.7% of males, 13% of females
-
Percentage of income spent on housing: 20.7% source
As for me, I’m thrilled that Wichita Falls ranked so high… but i’m certainly not surprised!
(Oh, and by the way… I can personally attest to the fact that there are very few people on the roads before 5 a.m. around Wichita Falls. I was part of that 4.8% when this study was released!)
