Florida and Georgia? We lost to FLORIDA and GEORGIA?! That just raises my blood pressure! Don't worry I've lived in both those places also. Honestly all 3 suck . But yeah 3rd in stress for the 3rd state in the union. Wonder if my hair wouldn't have gone grey so fast if I got stationed in Mountain Home, Idaho like I was supposed to back in the day.

You downtalkin' Jersey, boy? </reaches for fist tape> In all seriousness, it's a weird combination, and there's a lot of factors that determine stress levels. For example, in Georgia you can get into the cultural/economic/social strain that lingers after generations of first enforced, and later just de facto, segregation; Florida's economy is very uneven, and there's a scientific link between poverty and high stress levels. That said, it's still a bit of a surprise, given how states down South like that tend to be known for espousing a slower pace for life, while New Jersey is the more traditional Northeast, near-to-New York City, hustle and bustle, frantic "no excuses, get to work, get out of my way on the highway, and you're late if you're not here fifteen minutes early" kind of pace. Beyond that, Jersey also has one of the highest standards of living in the US...which also means being one of the most expensive states to live in, and thus one of the toughest to earn a comfortable living in, another major source of stress. Whatever the source of stress, it's something that's linked to a multitude of physical and mental health issues, and we, as a nation, would do well to address it by various means. Good place to start? No joke: meditation. Obviously not a cure-all for everybody, but I enjoy it sometimes.

Ahhh, 46. Right up there with the other northern states in a nice stress free cluster.

Number 11. I thought we'd be a bit higher, but maybe they ranked this right after the Spurs won.
And of course Florida is number 1.

This chart could be carved up plenty of different ways. What makes Georgia and Florida completely stressful according to this is something totally different up here. Honestly they should have added more issues to this. Things like possibilities of weather issues (hurricanes,tornados) and just pleasant weather in general are big factors to me too.
