It’s all smiles as we tour and learn about the small town of White Hall.
After an analysis conducted by Zippia: The Career Expert, White Hall was deemed in the top 10 of happiest places in the state. They're #1 based on population. The analysis was based off of home owners and married adults; however, White Hall has some impressive stats in other categories as well.
We'll begin our learning journey at the White Hall Museum.

We mentioned the high school graduation rate but White Hall also outshines the state in number of citizens with an associates degree as well as a doctorate degree.
You're bound to meet some friendly folks at the city park.
Citizens outrank the state in overall healthiness and have a lower average of people who feel bad about themselves (yes that's actually one of the statistical categories). So not only do the stats back up White Hall's happy rating, the residents will gladly tell you about their contentment.
