Most & least stressed-out cities 2018: How harrowed is your hometown?

Although Detroit is in the early stages of an economic revival, it is currently the most stressed out city in America, according to a new report from personal finance website WalletHub.

The Motor City was followed by Newark, New Jersey, and Cleveland, which are the top three most-stressed cities. On the other end of the spectrum: Fremont, California, located in the San Francisco Bay area and home to the principal production facility for Tesla cars; Bismarck, North Dakota; and Sioux Falls, South Dakota, were ranked the least stressful cities in the U.S.

The leading causes of stress in the U.S. are money, work, family and relationships, in that order, the WalletHub report noted, and work-related stress may cost America roughly $300 billion annually.

Larger cities and those near major metropolitan areas tended to have higher levels of stress. Regionally, the more densely populated eastern half of the nation and the Gulf states have more stressed-out cities.

Workers in Anchorage, Alaska, logged the most hours weekly, while those in Burlington, Vermont, have the shortest workweeks.

To determine the cities where Americans were most and least stressed, WalletHub ranked 182 cities—including the 150 most populated U.S. cities, plus at least two of the most populated cities in each state—across four key areas: work stress, financial stress, family stress and health and safety stress. The personal finance website vetted factors such as average weekly work hours and debt load as well as divorce and suicide rates.
