Where Does Michigan Rank in List of Most-Stressed States?

Turns out, Michiganders aren't as stressed out as one might think. Michigan ranks at #22 on Movoto's list of the most-stressed states.

The most-stressed state in the US? Florida. (Really??!?)

The website used six factors that cause adults the most stress.

• Percentage of population with a long commute (over 20 minutes)
• Unemployment
• Hours worked
• Population density
• Percentage of income spent on housing
• Percentage of population without health insurance

You'd think the sunshine and easy-going lifestyle would be relaxing for Floridians. But it's the state's high unemployment and lack of health insurance that send its residence over the edge.

Here's the top 10:

1. Florida
2. Georgia
3. New Jersey
4. California
5. Nevada
6. Illinois
7. New York
8. Maryland
9. North Carolina
10. Arizona

The site used US Census data from 2008-2012, which ranked Michigan 1st in unemployment, and 33rd in the nation for individuals without health insurance.
