Columbus fares pretty well in this survey

If anyone can get the graphic to post, I would be appreciative!

Was totally expecting a Vice City knockoff, but with more chainsaws.

Might wanna skip the flash animation and head straight to the data:

http://www.portfolio.com/resources/Portfolio-2010-Metro-Area-Stress-Rank.pdf

Rank (from most stress to least) Metropolitan area Stress index Metro unemployment rate (June 2010) 1 Detroit 9.026 14.3% 2 Los Angeles 5.899 11.6% 3 Cleveland 5.146 9.3% 4 Riverside, Calif. 5.105 14.4% 5 St. Louis 4.737 9.9% 6 New York City 4.734 8.8% 7 New Orleans 4.621 8.2% 8 Chicago 4.366 10.6% 9 Birmingham 3.916 10.0% 10 Miami-Fort Lauderdale 3.527 11.7%

Number one most stressed out is Detroit. Yeah, I'd be stressed if I lived in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Columbus comes in at 34... which is good.

Detroit has many problems but it is not a wasteland. I am from Detroit
my neighborhood does not look like a wasteland.
