Prescott has been designated one of the “happiest and healthiest cities in America,” – the only Arizona city in the top 20.
In a March 7 article, Time Magazine reported that the list is based on the Gallup-Healthways’ newly released Community Well-Being Index. Researchers reportedly analyzed 350,000 interviews conducted in 2015 and 2016 to rank communities by physical, emotional, financial, community, and social health.
Prescott was named number 13 out of 189 cities identified. The other Arizona cities listed were Phoenix, at number 47, and Tucson, at number 89.
