New Study Says Minnesota is the Least Stressed State

(KNSI) — Minnesota is the least stressed state, according to a new study from the personal finance website Wallethub.

WalletHub compared the 50 states across 41 key stress indicators to determine the places to avoid and achieve a more relaxing life. The data set ranges from average hours worked per week to the personal bankruptcy rate to the share of adults getting adequate sleep.

Minnesota ranked first for least stressed and least money-related stress, third for least amount of family-related stress, sixth for lowest work-related stress, and seventh for lowest health and safety-related stress.

We also did well when it came to not overworking ourselves, having a low divorce rate, having access to mental health care, and getting adequate sleep, and we were first for high median credit scores. Minnesota was in the middle of the pack for job security and crime rates and 33rd when it came to housing affordability.
