Named US city with the highest levels of stress, and this is not New York

A new study on the level of stress experienced by city dwellers studied the opinions of more than 3000 people from major cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas and Chicago. Unexpectedly, the most stressful city turned out to be not at all New York, which has long been such an opinion.

As a result of the study, it turned out that 76% of respondents in Los Angeles are at least somewhat stressed every day. This data pushed New York to second place in the ranking of cities with the maximum level of everyday stress, writes New York Post.

61% of Los Angeles residents are also more likely than anyone else to say their city is the most difficult place to live in the United States.

The OnePoll study also found that Los Angeles residents can spend just 10,5 days in their city without a stress break. This is 7 days less than those living in New York City and 9 days less than those living in Chicago. Additionally, only 6% of Los Angeles respondents said they “never” feel stressed.

The main goal of the study was to identify specific places that residents consider to be the greatest “stress inducers” in their city. The survey was conducted on behalf of a ginger ale company that said the company planned to supply these locations with its products so residents could "relax a little bit," said Derek Dabrowski, vice-president of marketing for the Dry Ginger Ale brand in Canada.

In New York, Times Square was recognized as a stressful spot (39%), Central Station ranked second (37%). The ACE train line was also recognized as the busiest in the metro.

In San Francisco, the Tenderloin was named the most stressful (46%). Union Square (32%) and Chinatown (30%) round out the top three. City residents called the cost of housing here “bad” (53%).

Residents of Los Angeles called Hollywood and the Highland Center the least relaxing places on a typical day (35%), Universal Studios (31%) came second. Among all the highways in the City of Angels, the 105 highway was recognized as the worst.

Finally, in Miami, South Beach was named the most stressful (35%), Dolphin Mall (34%) and Bayside Marketplace (29%) received high marks.
