Life can be pretty stressful, from struggles to find a job or an affordable home to paying off student loans and credit card debt on a stagnant wage. However, the people in living some cities around the country are more stressed out than others.
Zippia compiled a list of the most stressed city in each state, ranking the cities based on data from the U.S. Census American Community Service 2013-2017 and BLS for the following criteria: unemployment, hours worked, commute times, income-to-home-price ratio, and percent of uninsured population.
So which city in the Palmetto State stresses more than any other? While you may think that a bigger city like Columbia or Charleston would be high up on the "stressed out" meter, Port Royal is actually the most stressed out city in all of South Carolina, according to the report. Port Royal averaged a 52-hour work week with a 22-minute commute while the city had a 11.23% income-to-home-price ratio.
