A new study focusing on several different quality-of-life metrics reports that Alberta is the fourth happiest province in Canada.
According to the study done by the online gambling website Lucky Days, Alberta also was the fourth safest province with its violent crime rate score being 6.38. This score comes from 1,532 reported violent crimes per 100,000 residents reported in 2022. Alberta scored a 10 in the ‘median annual family income,’ with an average of $106,960 reported.
Lucky Days reported using several sources for the study including the National Statistical Office, Statistics Canada, and the Government of Canada. The eight key metrics that were looked at included the life satisfaction survey, median annual family income, unemployment risk, average life expectancy, air quality, health, mental health and crime rate.
Quebec reported being the happiest of the Canadian provinces and territories, with British Columbia and Ontario following, while Prince Edward Island came in fifth. According to the study, Saskatchewan was reported to be the unhappiest province in the country.
