Where you live can affect your stress levels.

And a recent study showed just that when it named Alabama the most stressed state in the US.

A new review, compiled by WalletHub, determined the Heart of Dixie to be the worst when it came to tension in work and personal life.

It came top in the highest percentage of adults with poor health, the fewest average hours of sleep per night, and the least amount of mental health facilities per capita.

The bottom five all fell in the south: Louisiana, Mississippi, West Virginia and Kentucky.

Meanwhile, Minnesota took the top grade as the least stressed state in the country.

It was followed by four states in Middle America: North Dakota, Iowa, South Dakota and Utah.

Although stress levels reached their lowest point in 2016 in nearly a decade, they're on the uptick this year.

During the 10-year period when stress was declining, Americans commonly identified 'money, work and the economy' as their biggest sources of worry.

Today, anxiety centers around the election outcome, current political climate, uncertainty of our nation's future and fear of violence.

To reach its findings, WalletHub compared the states and the District of Columbia across four key dimensions: work-related stress, money-related stress, family-related stress, and health and safety-related stress.

Several categories were looked at including average hours worked per week, percent of the population living below the poverty line, divorce rates and the share of adults getting adequate sleep.

After assessing each state's provisions, the researchers provided grades out of 100, with the least amount of points indicating a better score.

Minnesota scored just 31.07 out of 100 while Alabama earned 56.91 out of 100.

WORK-RELATED STRESS

Alaskans work the most average hours per week, while Utahns work the fewest. Kentucky nabbed the top spot for the lowest job security and Delaware was named the state with the highest job security

MONEY-RELATED STRESS

Mississippi came first not only in residents with the lowest credit scores but with the highest percent of its population living below the poverty line. According to the 2012 US Census, 17.4 percent of Mississippi families fell below the poverty line, but only 5.6 percent did in New Hampshire

FAMILY-RELATED STRESS

States with the most populous citiesa had the least affordable amount of housing, with Hawaii coming first, and Iowa being the most affordable. The nation's capital has the highest divorce rate - 31 percent rate - compared to Utah's 16 percent

The states with the highest percentage of adults in fair/poor health all fell in the south with West Virginia coming first, while northern states had the lowest percentages with New Hampshire taking the top spot

HEALTH- & SAFETY-RELATED STRESS

The District of Columbia came first in the highest crime rate per capita while Vermont has the lowest crime rate. But DC also has the most psychologists per capita - 173.3 per 100,000 - which is seven times more than Louisiana, the state with the fewest
