Massachusetts is One of the Top 10 Most Relaxed States in the Country, According to New Study LOL

Author Beasley Media Editorial

Whoops, sorry. My subliminal must have added that LOL to the article title. When people think of Massachusetts, do you think they think “oh those well-balanced, calm people in Massachusetts” when thinking about us? I don’t even think that about myself and of course I want to think positive things about me.

The study, which was conducted by CBD oil products company CBDfx, crunched data from the United Health Foundation’s American Health Rankings to determine which states had the lowest rates of people reporting stress. And Massachusetts made the Top 10?!? Most of my conversations during most of my days are consoling people who are stressed to the max – not gonna lie, some of those times I’m the one doing the venting. Thanks friends. This leads me to believe that we’re in the Top 10 least stressed and most relaxed, dang those other states must be a real hot mess!!

So what state is the MOST relaxed? That honor goes to South Dakots. Hawaii makes sense at #2 most relaxed, Maryland came in at #3. Massachusetts just made the Top 10, coming in as the #9 most relaxed/least stressed state in the US. Massachusetts scored an overall score of 83.84. To put the score into perspective, South Dakota was #1 with an overall score of 96.20, New Jersey finished just above Massachusetts at #8 with an 84.41 overall score, and West Virginia came in dead last at the bottom of the list, or MOST stressed and LEAST relaxed.

Do you agree that Massachusetts indeed is one of the most relaxed, zen states in the country? We would absolutely LOOOOOOVVVVVEEE to hear your thoughts!

And it’s not just safe driving in Massachusetts, we just did really good at safety in general in another new study.
Neighborhood Scout determined their top 100 by using each town/city’s population and total crime rate per one thousand residents to determine the chance of being a victim of crime there. The lower the chances of being a victim of crime, the safer (obviously). Mass has 4 towns in the Top 10!! Check it out:
