WalletHub compared the 50 states across 40 key indicators of stress to help people determine where to live in order to achieve a more relaxing life. Our data set ranges from average hours worked per week to the personal bankruptcy rate to the share of adults getting adequate sleep.

Overall Rank* State Total Score

6 Tennessee 53.37
Work-Related Stress Rank
12
Money-Related Stress Rank
10
Family-Related Stress Rank
29
Health & Safety-Related Stress Rank
3

Tennessee ranks bad in Family-Related Stress, which includes:
Separation and Divorce Rate
Share of Single Parents
Cost of Childcare
Parental-Leave Policy
Parental Stress
Share of Parents Without Emotional Support
Share of Parents Who Changed /Quit Jobs Due to Problems with Child Care

I would have thought Tennessee would have ranked higher in money-related and health & safety related stress.
