Honolulu Among ‘Least Stressed’ Cities
And yet, the same survey group says we’re among the worst cities for first-time home buyers.
There’s more data to chew on from the folks at WalletHub.
Honolulu, according to analysts, is among the least-stressed cities.
“To identify the cities where Americans cope with their stress better than others, WalletHub’s analysts compared 150 cities across 27 key metrics,” says a press release. “Our data set ranges from average work hours to debt load to divorce and suicide rates.”
Honolulu is No. 148 and scores particularly well for good credit ratings, divorce rates, low poverty levels, health insurance coverage and the number of psychologists per capita.
The most-stressed city is Detroit.
And yet WalletHub has another analysis where Honolulu does not do well at all: among first-time home owners.
The data set ranges from “housing affordability to real-estate tax rate to property-crime rate.”
Honolulu ranks No. 276 overall and No. 56 among large cities.
Lexington, Kentucky, came in No. 1 for large cities; Overland Park, Kansas, was No. 1 for midsize cities; and Greeley, Colorado, was No. 1 for small cities.
