According to a new study by Men's Health Magazine, Milwaukee ranked 69 as the most angry city in America. Orlando, it says, is the most irate, while peaceful Manchester, N.H. is ranked No. 100.
The study took into account the percentage of men with high blood pressure, as well as FBI rates of aggravated assaults and labor statistics on workplace deaths. It also included traffic-congestion data and speeding citations per state.
In case you're wondering, surly Chicago ranked 11. Minneapolis ranked a chill 77, while bucolic Madison came in at serene 87.
