South Dakota was found to be the least stressed state, while Louisiana was the most stressed, according to WalletHub’s annual ranking.
WalletHub compared all 50 states across 4 key dimensions — work-related stress, money-related stress, family-related stress, and health- and safety-related stress — which were evaluated using 40 metrics, ranging from residents’ average hours worked per week to the state’s quality of infrastructure. The health- and safety-related component factored in each state’s share of adults in fair or poor health, with diagnoses of depression, mental health, suicide rate and more.
