From WalletHub :

To determine where Americans cope the best, WalletHub compared more than 180 cities across 39 key metrics. Our data set ranges from average weekly work hours to the unemployment rate to divorce and suicide rates.

In all of their analytics and analysis, it’s been determined that Cleveland, Ohio is the most stressed city in the United States. Their report indicates that a primary contributing factor is that Cleveland “has one of the lowest median household incomes in the country after adjusting for the cost of living, at under $41,000”.

Basically, most people in Cleveland don’t make enough money because of low wages.

Cleveland also has the second-highest poverty rate in the country.

But The Land isn’t the only Midwest town to make the list. According to WalletHub Detroit is the second most stressed city, while Philadelphia (6) and Akron (8) also fall within the top 10.

If you live in any of these areas, do you feel like this list is accurate?
