Forget laid-back California. If you're looking for stress-free living, try Iowa.

Californians might be known for their laid-back lifestyle, but they've got nothing on Iowans, according to a new survey from WalletHub.

The Hawkeye state ranks near the bottom of the personal finance website's latest ranking of the country's most stressed states.

Only Minnesota, North Dakota and Utah are more relaxed.

California, on the other hand, lands in the middle of the pack at No. 25, just one spot ahead of New York.

Topping the list are Louisiana, New Mexico, West Virginia, Mississippi and Nevada.

WalletHub's rankings looked at "38 key indicators of stress to determine the places to avoid and achieve a more relaxing life," according to a news release. It examined data from all 50 states and the District of Columbia that ranged from average hours worked per week to personal bankruptcy rates.

Iowans fared particularly well in two areas: the state ranked 48th for the fewest hours of sleep per night and 51st for housing costs.
