The Deets
Aight, so Leger dropped a report, and guess what? Mississauga's flexin' as the "happiest" city in Canada. They scored a 70.3 on the happiness scale, which is higher than the national average of 68.7. Montreal's also up there with a 69.4, so shoutout to them too! But like, only Mississauga and Montreal broke that national average score.
Now, for the big sad news: 28% of Canadians are saying their happiness levels are down. But 49% are staying chill, and 23% are actually feeling better. It's a mixed bag out here, no cap.
Apparently, the youngins (18-24 and 25-34) are usually pretty happy, but even they're below the national average right now. What's up with that?
Zoocasa did some math and figured out a "price per happiness point" by comparing home prices and happiness scores. Turns out, where you live can really affect your feels.
Speaking of homes, a survey showed that over half of people (52.6%) think having affordable and stable housing is a major key to overall happiness. Housing is defo a need.
Mississauga's price per happiness point is $13,788, while Toronto's is a whopping $16,563. That's some serious coin for good vibes! Montreal's even cheaper at $8,343. Maybe it's time to move to save some funds, period.
Quebec's the happiest province overall, scoring a 72.4. Ontario's at 67.2, so we gotta step it up. Mississauga, Hamilton, Brampton, Ottawa, and Toronto are the top 10 happiest cities in Ontario. Maybe the vibes are spreading from Mississauga?
Word is, homeownership rates might be tied to happiness. Some folks are moving to places where they can actually afford a crib. Smart moves, fam!
