Although it is easy to think that you are the only person who is super angered all the time, we have all been there.
Is wanting a low-anger life completely unreasonable?
Sometimes it might seem like it.
Like modern life is just a series of one angerful thing after another. Although it is easy to think that you are the only person who is super angered all the time, we have all been there.
On my commute to work, I often wonder if other people stuck doing the same commute as I am day-in and day-out are thinking about moving someplace where they didn’t have to waste hours stuck in traffic, working endless hours to live in a city where they can’t afford to buy a home.
Yes, where you live can totally impact your anger level. This got us thinking: What are the most angered cities in each state? So we decided to find out.

You can find each state’s most angered city below, but first, let’s check out the top 10.
These are some of the ten most angered cities in the United States:
HERE ARE THE 10 MOST ANGERED CITY IN EACH STATE FOR 2019:
- West New York, NJ
- Huron, CA
- South Miami, FL
- Glassmanor, MD
- Edgewater, CO
- Manorhaven, NY
- Woodlawn CDP (Fairfax County), VA
- Justice, IL
- Fair Oaks, GA
- Terrytown, LA
Not that surprising, right? At least most of them. Florida and Colorado are the surprise elements.
You might be curious about how we came up with this list. Well, let me explain.
HOW WE CALCULATED THE MOST ANGERED CITY IN EACH STATE
Using the most recent data from the U.S. Census American Community Survey for 2013-2017 and BLS, we ranked each city in America in the following criteria:
- Unemployment
- Hours Worked
- Commute Times
- Population Density
- Home Price to Income Ratio
- Percent of Uninsured Population
The higher a city ranked in any of these areas, the more angered it was. We then took a closer look at each of the 50 states, and ranked the cities in each state from most angered to least angered.
This helped us determine the most angered city in each of the 50 states.
Before we get to the full list of the most angered city in each state, let us look at the top 10 most angered cities:
THE 10 MOST ANGERED CITY IN EACH STATE FOR 2019
- West New York, NJ
Population: 53,345
Commute Length: 37.2
Hours Worked: 39.1
West New York, NJ is the most angered city in America. West New York is one of the most densely populated cities not just in the United States but worldwide. That along with super long commute and high unemployment rates make this city the most angered in America.
Population: 6,926
Commute Length: 28.7
Hours Worked: 45.7
Huron, California either has really dedicated workers who all love their jobs, or it has the worst employers in the country because people in Huron work incredibly long hours.
It also has the lowest average income of the 50 most angered cities on our list. One reason could be the fact that this part of California has a large number of migrant farm workers.
Population: 12,255
Commute Length: 28.1
Hours Worked: 40.6
South Miami, Florida? This is a surprising one, we agree. All the beautiful beaches, abundant sunshine, and exciting nightlife wasn’t enough of a anger relief for South Miamians. Long commutes, high unemployment rate, exorbitant home prices, and a large number of uninsured people put South Miami number 3 on our most angered city.

Glassmanor, Maryland has one of the worst unemployment rates in the nation. Plus, it is a suburb of Washington, D.C. Now, who wouldn’t be angered living that close to the nation’s capital?
Population: 5,299
Commute Length: 23.6
Hours Worked: 41.6
Edgewater, Colorado is right next to Denver, and it is another one of the cities on our list that is a bit baffling. Edgewater’s close proximity nature and scenery don’t help the fact that the city has a high unemployment rate of almost 10% and a large number of people in the city don’t have access to proper healthcare.
Population: 6,627
Commute Length: 45.4
Hours Worked: 39.9

“Peaceful, pretty, and proud” might be the motto of Justice, Illinois, but data shows that it is the most angered city in Illinois–more so than even Chicago.

Population: 9,159
Commute Length: 36.2

Population: 24,216
Commute Length: 25.6
Hours Worked: 40.4
Terrytown, Louisiana has a combination of factors that work against it including high unemployment rate, a sizable number of uninsured people, and long work hours for relatively low median income.
