Baltimore Ranked The Fourth Most Stressed City in the US

Adulting, the pandemic, politics, and today’s economy are just a few things that can contribute to your stress level.

Wallethub conducted a study in the U.S., based on work stress, financial stress, family stress, and stress related to health and safety to compile a list of cities based on their stress levels.  According to their report, Wallethub “compared more than 180 cities across 40 key metrics.  Our data set ranges from average weekly work hours to the unemployment rate to divorce and suicide rates.”

So who made the list?  Cleveland landed the number one title. With Detroit, Michigan and Gulfport Mississippi to follow. Baltimore and Philly took the fourth and fifth place.  Want to skip out on the stress altogether?  Consider relocating to Fremont California as they’ve earned the title of the least stressful city in the U.S.

See the top 10 most stressful cities on the list below.
