Texas – According to a report published by personal-finance website WalletHub, Texas was ranked the ninth most stressful state to live in. Louisiana was ranked first, while Utah was ranked the lowest at 50. 

The report determined the level of stress by comparing 41 key metrics across the states. Things such as credit score, housing cost, crime rate, divorce rate and more were observed, and then combined to determine the overall stress of living in each state. For example, Texas was ranked first in the number of average hours worked per week.
