Stress is high near the Great Salt Lake. Three Utah cities placed within the top 15 for 24/7 Wall Street’s recent list of most stressed out American cities.

Provo, Ogden and Salt Lake City all made the list, placing second, eighth and 15th, respectively.

The survey reviewed the percentage of adults reporting daily stresses based on Gallup-Healthways Wellbeing Index from 2016. It also measured for percentage of adults with fair or poor health, the city’s poverty rate and the average hours worked in a week.

About 40 percent of adults nationwide report regular amounts of stress, according to the report.

“Financial insecurity, health problems, strenuous work hours and long commute times can all contribute to stress,” according to the report. “In the United States, none of these stressors are especially rare. And while some level of stress can act as a motivator and have a positive impact, beyond that stress has mostly negative consequences.”

Here's how Utah's cities shaped up:

Salt Lake City: About 45.1 percent of residents in the Utah capital reported having stress.

Ogden: Stress levels were higher for 45.7 percent people. Those in the Ogden-Clearfield area felt stressed because of longer work weeks. The average weekly hours worked is 34.2, according to the report.

Provo: Provo locals reported the most stress. Provo was one of two cities to report stress levels about 50 percent. The other was Chico, California, which placed first.

“Like the majority of metro areas with large shares of residents reporting stress, Provo-Orem is home to a large share of college and graduate students, who often report higher levels of stress than other Americans,” according to the report.

Utah was the only state to have three of its cities on the list. California had two (Chico and Vallejo-Fairfield), while Colorado also had two (Boulder and Fort Collins).

A separate report earlier this month from WalletHub listed Alabama as the most stressed state, according to The Montgomery Advertiser. The state’s worries came from financial issues, including stresses over low income and high debt.

Utah finished 47th on that list, which included all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Utah averaged the lowest amount of hours worked in a week and had the lowest divorce rate, which limited the stress for those in the Beehive State.
