Would you consider your city a particularly stressful place to live?

There are a handful of cities scattered across our big, beautiful country where citizens feel more stressed than normal. Be it lack of safety and finances, or an extreme amount of work pressure, something about these locations landed them on the list of the most stressed cities in the nation.

According to a list compiled by Wallethub, the most stressful places to live in Massachusetts are Worcester (69) and Boston, (117) among the top 150. These cities were also named among the most stressful places to live across the country.

Here's what Wallethub had to say about ranking the most stressful places to live in America:

"In order to determine the most and least stressed cities in America, WalletHub compared 182 cities — including the 150 most populated U.S. cities, plus at least two of the most populated cities in each state — across four key dimensions: 1) Work Stress, 2) Financial Stress, 3) Family Stress, and 4) Health & Safety Stress. Our sample considers only the city proper in each case and excludes cities in the surrounding metro area. Each metric was graded on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 representing the highest levels of stress."
