Insider Monkey Average: 168.9

With a population density of 1,416.80 people per square mile, some of the lowest sleep rates in the US, and the third-highest separation and divorce rates, Birmingham is the sixth unhappiest city in America. 21.70% of the population in this city suffers from depression, and 100% of the population is faced with the constant threat of crime (violent ones and property-targeted, both).

Also, Birmingham has an expensive healthcare system and high tax rates. Unfortunately, the income of residents does not make up for any of these; the average income of residents in Birmingham is significantly lower than the national average.
