Most Stressed Cities In Tennessee

Stress is inevitable. Everyone experiences some degree of it normally, but the past few years have elevated Americans’ stress levels with everything from a pandemic to high inflation and spiking homicide rates.

Money, health and the economy all remain top stressors, but around 3 in 5 adults don’t talk about their stress because they don’t want to be a burden on other people. Stress isn’t just harmful to individuals, though – by one estimate, workplace-related stress alone costs the country more than $300 billion per year.

To determine where Americans cope the best, WalletHub compared more than 180 cities across 39 key metrics. Their data set ranges from average weekly work hours to the unemployment rate to divorce and suicide rates. The rankings being shared is based in 2024 data.
