Detroit is America's most stressed-out city — and we aren't quite sure how to deal with it, either.

That's according to a new study from WalletHub.com, which compared stress levels across 150 U.S. cities using metrics from these five major categories:

Work-related stress.

Money-related stress.

Family-related stress.

Health and safety-related stress.

Coping with stress .

Two key metrics from the money-related stress category primarily contributed to Detroit's overall stress ranking: Having the country's highest poverty rate and lowest credit score.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 39.8% of Detroit's residents are living below the poverty line, the worst ranking in America. Meantime, credit scores in Detroit average about 590, according to TransUnion.

When it comes to family-related stress, Detroit struggles with a high divorce rate, at 40.47%, the third worst in the country, only behind Cleveland and Birmingham, Ala.

How we're dealing with the stress may be hurting our health, too.

Almost 25% of Detroiters are smokers and nearly 22% are in "fair or poor health," according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That's the sixth and seventh highest rates in the country, respectively.
