Summary

Plano was ranked No. 1 by SmartAsset based on personal finance, well‑being and quality of life, city communications director Steve Stoler said on the city’s weekly newscast.

Plano was ranked the "Happiest City in America" by financial research firm SmartAsset, Plano Media Relations Director Steve Stoler said on the city’s weekly Plano City News broadcast.

The SmartAsset ranking cited three categories — personal finance, well‑being and quality of life — as the basis for the No. 1 placement, Stoler said. He summarized the report as highlighting school quality, job opportunities and entertainment options, and described Plano as having "safe, family friendly neighborhoods, excellent schools, and well maintained parks."

The announcement appeared on the city’s short weekly news program rather than as a formal council action. The city did not provide a direct link to the SmartAsset report in the broadcast segment; the transcript indicates the ranking and the reasons that SmartAsset used but does not supply the full report text or methodology.

The segment did not include comments from SmartAsset or independent data to verify the ranking beyond Stoler’s summary.
