If you're planning on moving in the next few months and trying to decide where to live, then you might want to avoid Baltimore and move closer to Columbia, Maryland if you have a hard time managing stress!
WalletHub just released their list of the "Most and Least Stressed Cities in the Country" based on average weekly work hours, divorce rates, and other factors and Baltimore came in as the fourth most-stressed city in the US.
On the other side of the poll, Columbia came in as the fifth least-stressed city in the US! Now they only asked about 180 different cities and the only other city that was included on the list was DC, which came in as the 77th most-stressed city, which isn't too bad for being the "Nation's Capital!"
Here are the rankings for most and least-stressed cities and if you are moving out of the DMV, just make sure to avoid Ohio for your stress levels:
