And here I was wondering why I always found myself singing along to the song Stressed Out by twenty one pilots. Now I know why. It turns out that Shreveport is the 12th most stressed-out city in the country. If you think that's bad, New Orleans is 3rd on the list for 2021.

WalletHub studied a number of stressors including average hours worked, COVID-19 cases, divorce, and suicide rates, as well as crime rates and health stats to compile the list of the country's most stressed-out cities. Shreveport didn't fair very well. However, you shouldn't be too surprised because Louisiana ranked 2nd as a state for the most stressed out in 2021.
