Spring has sprung — and for so many Americans, this means warmer temperatures and more time spent outside.
It’s no surprise that spending time outdoors can boost endorphins and overall make people happier.

WalletHub said it’s also the city with the lowest separation and divorce rate in the country at only 8.9%.
Overland Park, Kansas, came in at No. 2, as it has the lowest poverty rate in the country at 4.2% and one of the highest sports participation rates in the country.
The company gave the No. 3 spot to San Jose, California, as it has the longest average life expectancy in the country and is considered the best city on the health and wellness index, according to WalletHub.

Cities on the lower end of the list included Jackson, Mississippi, at No. 175; Shreveport, Louisiana, at No. 178; and Detroit, Michigan, ranking last at No. 182.
WalletHub analyst Cassandra Happe told Fox News Digital that two city rankings in particular surprised the team.
“It is astonishing to see Honolulu jump from 33rd to 6th place and Pearl City surge from 55th to 8th place in the rankings,” she said.
She continued, “The transformation of these cities highlights the importance of dedicated efforts to address economic opportunities, community cohesion, and mental health support systems.”
Other notable rankings in the report: South Burlington, Vermont, ranked as the city with the highest level of adequate sleep. However, WalletHub found that Burlington also had the fewest work hours among the population there.
Cities with the greatest number of work hours calculated by WalletHub were Scottsdale, Arizona; Casper, Wyoming; and Dallas, Texas.
