According to a study by Movoto.com, Minnesota is among the most relaxed states in America. In fact, the entire upper Midwest is the chill-center of the country. Find a coast and you'll find high stress (Florida is #1). North Dakota is chillin' like a villain (#50 on the stressed list). Here's how it all looks:

Team Movoto.com used six criteria to determine each state's stress level:

• Percentage of population with a long commute (over 20 minutes)
• Unemployment
• Hours worked
• Population density
• Percentage of income spent on housing
• Percentage of population without health insurance
