The 10 most stressed cities in America

The coronavirus pandemic has heightened stress levels across America. Do you live in one of the most stressed cities in the country?
  • Written by Jason Axelrod
  • 20th July 2020

Stress is a reality of life. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has only heightened the stress levels of Americans across the country. A Kaiser Family Foundation poll found that 39 percent of U.S. adults said that coronavirus-related stress and worry has negatively impacted their mental health.

Nevertheless, the residents of some cities experience stress more than others do. Financial news and information site WalletHub compared 182 U.S. cities using 42 metrics concerning work stress, health and safety stress, financial stress and family stress. Based on those comparisons, WalletHub determined the most stressed and least stressed cities in America.

We’ve included the 10 most stressed cities here. Is your city on the list?
