WalletHub generated the composite score for each city by examining multiple categories, including the stress rates for work, health and safety, family life and financial stress. Cleveland came in at 68th overall for work-related stress and 7th highest for family-related stress. It had the 2nd most health and safety-related stress and the most financial stress in the nation, according to the study.
