Seeing I am feeling the stress right now, I find it oddly appropriate that Forbes recently release the top 10 stressful cities in the U.S.

The magazine determined the list by:

  • Looking at the 40 largest U.S
  • tracked housing affordability
  • unemployment rates
  • cost of living
  • air quality
  • number of sunny days per year
  • population density

Take the results, mix, and the 10 most stressful cities are identified.  The results are a bit surprising…

10. Philadelphia, PA
9. Providence, R.I.
8. Salt Lake City, Utah
7. Cleveland, Ohio
6. San Diego, Calif.
5. San Francisco, Calif.
4. Los Angeles, Calif.
3. Detroit, Mich.
2. New York, N.Y.
1. Chicago, Ill.

Chicago?!?  Who would have suspected Chicago was the most stressful city to live in?
