The country’s five most stressed-out cities are all run by Democrats, according to a new study.
WalletHub used 39 metrics — from the unemployment rate to suicide rates — to compare over 180 cities across the U.S., including the country’s 150 most populated cities, to determine where Americans are the most and least stressed.
According to WalletHub’s findings, Democrat-run blue cities dominated the top of the list for carrying the most stress:
- Cleveland, Ohio
- Detroit, Michigan
- Baltimore, Maryland
- Birmingham, Alabama
- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
- Shreveport, Louisiana
- Memphis, Tennessee
- Fayetteville, North Carolina
- St. Louis, Missouri
- August, Georgia

Each of the top five cities has a Democrat mayor, and only one of the top 10 is headed by a Republican.
Cleveland, which has the country’s second-highest poverty rate of large cities, also struggles with a crime rate that’s 5.5 times above the state average and 4.3 times above the national average.
Democrat Mayor Justin Morris Bibb promised to increase the city’s police force after a mass shooting earlier this month. However, City Council member Michael Polensek said this week at a public meeting that Cleveland is down 313 officers from where it was in 2020, lamenting the state of his city and declaring, “I’m not going to live like this.”
Detroit ranked No. 2 in large part because of crime, with recent statistics showing that the city’s residents are about four times more likely to be victims of violent crime than Americans living elsewhere.
Baltimore, Birmingham and Philadelphia are also experiencing high crime and murder rates well above the national average under Democrat mayors.
