I don't know how you feel but I'm surprised that Billings didn't make the happiest places to live in Montana list.  How could we not make the list?  Now, I will say that I haven't been to all the towns listed below.

So how did Zippia come up with The 10 Happiest Places in Montana?  They looked at things like how many people had insurance, owned a home and had jobs.  According to that, Lewiston is all smiles.  What town should have made the top of the list?  Don't you think Billings should have been on the list?
