Most & least stressed-out cities 2017: Where does yours land?

In the U.S., the top five sources of stress for Americans include work, money, health issues, relationships and diet, according to 2014 data from the American Psychological Association.

Where you live can affect how much the stresses of daily life impact you. For instance, if you live in a city with a high cost of living or a work culture that encourages long hours, will you be subject to more stresses related to money and your job?

Yes, according to WalletHub, which recently ranked 150 U.S. cities by how stressful daily life is in each. The personal finance website included housing affordability and average number of hours worked per week when ranking cities, but also looked at other factors, including crime rates, average commute times and health statistics.

Larger cities and those near major metropolitan areas tended to fall higher on the stressed-out index. Regionally, the more densely populated eastern half of the nation has more stressed-out cities, though California also boasts its fair share.

Workers in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and Anchorage, Alaska, tied for logging the most hours weekly, while those in Providence, Rhode Island and Tallahassee, Florida, have the shortest workweeks.
