Are You Mad?
24 August 2006There’s a ranking on MSN.com of the 100 angriest cities in the US. The factors that were considered are:
- the percentage of men with high blood pressure
- the rates of aggravated assaults
- the number of workplace deaths from assaults and other violence
- traffic congestion data
- the number of speeding citations per state
My hometown, Jackson, MS, is number 13 on the list. The obvious joke would be for me to say that I’m angry to see Jackson on the list, but I can’t say that. Other southeastern cities and their ranks are: Orlando (1), St. Petersburg(2), Nashville (5), Miami (7), Memphis (8), Jacksonville, FL (9), Birmingham (21), Atlanta (24), Baton Rouge (28), Montgomery, AL (46), and Little Rock (72).
The top two angriest cities are in Florida. I guess I would be angry too if I lived in Florida (just kidding).
Update:
I accidentally left Tampa (12) off the list of southeastern cities.
