20 most and least stressed counties
California hosting 14 of the 20 most stressed counties in the nation according to [http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_STRESS_MAP_LIST?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2011-03-24-10-40-58AP's Economic Stress Index.] Found their map and it looks like the far west is leading the nation in stress. You can change the map to state view from county view for an overall look.
I thought a Michigan county would have made the top 20 with Detroit housing in such terrible shape.
