Louisville is Feeling Good as the #19 Least Stressful City

The online division of the parent company of Business First decided it'd be cool to know what metro areas are the most and least stressful. So naturally they started digging in to government data.

Bizjournals created a 10-part formula to rank the stress levels in the 50 largest metros using data collected by several government agencies and private firms. The measures include unemployment rates, murder rates and average commute time.

I'm not sure those are quite the criteria I think are most important in figuring out a city's, er excuse me, metro area's stress level but I'm still pleased that Louisville came in at number 19 on the list of least stressful places.

Of course a glass half empty person would look at it as being the 32nd most stressful metro area. Lucky for us I'm a glass half full kind of girl.
