Long commute times and crime and public safety concerns also contributed significantly to the city\u2019s high ranking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"47H4U4YEMREMPH5MNFPAXKINTY\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.remitly.com\/gb\/en\/landing\/worlds-most-stressed-cities?irclickid=2vSU8hVSwxycUL63iWzv31NcUkpTcAw1IzDK2Y0&amp;af_sub1=Skimbit%20Ltd.&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_source=impactradius&amp;irgwc=1&amp;afsrc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Remitly<\/a> assessed cities using five factors: cost of living, commuting congestion, crime, pollution and access to healthcare. New York City\u2019s cost-of-living index reached 100 in the study.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"AJ6ORHVGDFE2JLCVQMLBQOTKIE\">Despite the high overall stress score, the city performed well in some areas. New York ranked favorably for air quality and access to healthcare, which offset other stress factors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"U4QVF5E4HJGDRKZF7Z25ZYRMKE\">Staten Islanders may agree, as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silive.com\/topic\/city-yes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.silive.com\/topic\/city-yes\/\">latest City of Yes changes coming to the five boroughs<\/a> have some folks worried.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"G6OYHLR7WBEARPUSYB3J7QITPM\">Eindhoven, Netherlands, claimed the title of least stressed city with a score of 2.34. Dublin ranked second among the most stressed cities, followed by Mexico City in third place. Manila and London rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"PCCMJKQLABGQTJRTVTX7KT3GTA\">The remaining cities in the top 10 most stressed were Milan, Italy; Athens, Greece; S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil; Turin, Italy, and Kolkata, India.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"TATSSO6J7BBZVFQSUHK3WUX2QI\">The study\u2019s findings align with longstanding concerns among New York residents about the financial pressures of living in one of the world\u2019s most expensive cities, combined with challenges related to transportation and safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"City of Yes?
