WalletHub released a study ranking all 50 states from most to least stressed.
Floridians made it to number 11, and for a state that people retire to and hit the beaches nearly year-round, what could we be so stressed about?
Well, all 50 states were compared over 40 metrics, from things including divorce rate, hours worked per week and credit score. Floridians hang in the middle of the pack, coming in 25th Average Hours Worked per Week, 22nd in Adults Getting Adequate Sleep and 20th for Percent of Adults in Fair/Poor Health.
Moving a little closer to higher stress levels, Florida is 19th in Crime Rate per Capita, and 16th in both Percentage of Living Below Poverty Line and Median Credit Score.
Here are the kickers: 8th in Housing Affordability, 6th in Psychologists per Capita and 3rd in Divorce Rate.
So we've got not-so-happy marriages, expensive houses and not enough people to complain about it to. That sounds… stressful.
