Only one US city makes the list in the top 15 "least stressed out cities" in the world.

[Mrs. Overall]

Can you guess which US city is "least stressed out" before you look at the list?

Zipjet used a laundry list of categories to determine this information including: density, perception of security, light pollution, family purchase power, race equality, green spaces, sunshine hours per year, unemployment, mental health, public transport, air pollution, debt per capita, physical health, traffic, noise pollution, social security, and gender equality.

Here's the top 15:

1. Stuttgart, Germany
2. Luxembourg, Luxembourg
3. Hannover, Germany
4. Bern, Switzerland
5. Munich, Germany
6. Bordeaux, France
7. Edinburgh, United Kingdom
8. Sydney, Australia
9. Hamburg, Germany
10. Graz, Austria
11. Zurich, Switzerland
12. Seattle, United States
13. Wellington, New Zealand
14. Nice, France
15. Dresden, Germany

1. Kinda funny

that they went with the term "least stressed-out" as opposed to "most relaxed." Semantics, I know, but those things preoccupy my simple mind.

All that rain in Seattle -- during normal weather cycles -- might not stress me out, but it would bum me out.

2. We are all overstressrd since November.

3. I agree. I've been wearing ball gowns and tiaras each day since the election...

I love your typo!

4. Yea, but Seattleites get to smoke weed.

I'd be pretty chill too if I could legally ride the ganja wave.

5. I wonder whether Seattle will be in the list much longer

Seattle's rising housing prices have led to a significant increase in homelessness. This increased stress about rent and mortgages payments must start showing up soon.

6. Seattleites are already more stressed.

Unaffordable housing (unless you make more than $80,000-90,000 a year), non-stop traffic jams (afternoon rush hour starts before 2:00 and lasts until 7:00), increasing petty crime in the safest neighborhoods, and a host of other minor problems have already changed Seattle from the livable city it used to be.

7. You mean rush hour actually stops?

It's a nightmare
