While a lot of people love where they live, there are some areas of the country where people may not feel that way. In fact, they may be downright miserable. Well, now a new report reveals just where those miserable people are.
- 24/7 Tempo has come out with their list of the Most Miserable Cities in the U.S.

- This Index asks residents whether they “feel a sense of purpose, have supportive relationships, are financially secure, satisfied with their community, and are in good physical health.”
- Counties in non-metro areas scored lowest on the wellbeing index, while the South is the area with the most residents feel unhappy.
- According to the report, Pine Bluff, Arkansas is the most miserable city, with a high poverty rate of 26.8%, and a median household income of only $34,732, half of the national average.
