There are many different sources of stress, but by far the most prominent in the past few years has been the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, a recent survey found that one in three Americans sometimes feel so stressed about the pandemic that it hurts their ability to make basic decisions. Overall stress levels are not uniform across the country, though, and certain states worry more than others about specific issues.

WalletHub compared the 50 states across 41 key indicators of stress to determine the places to avoid and achieve a more relaxing life. Our data set ranges from average hours worked per week to the personal bankruptcy rate to the share of adults getting adequate sleep.

Here are America’s most stressed-out cities, from least to most stressed, plus scores for some key stressors.

Methodology

In order to determine the most and least stressed states, WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across four key dimensions: 1) Work-Related Stress, 2) Money-Related Stress, 3) Family-Related Stress, 4) Health- & Safety-Related Stress.

We evaluated those dimensions using 41 relevant metrics, which are listed below with their corresponding weights. Each metric was graded on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 representing the highest level of stress.

We then determined each state’s weighted average across all metrics to calculate its overall score and used the resulting scores to rank-order the states.

You can find the breakdown of points per category on WalletHub.
