A study conducted by Men's Health magazine has found that Orlando, Fla., ranks No. 1 on a list of the angriest cities in the nation.
"Orlando has never been a strategic military target, and yet the folks there are furious," the magazine said.
The magazine looked at the percentage of men with high blood pressure, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and FBI rates for aggravated assaults, as well as workplace deaths from assaults and other violence.
Those numbers were compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Traffic congestion data were also a factor.
Orlando was joined in the top 10 by three other Florida cities -- St. Petersburg, Miami and Jacksonville.

There's an "Anchorage" listed as #84. I'm assuming that the Alaska one.
I think Salt Lake City (#88) and Boise, Idaho (#78) were ranked way too low.
THANK YOU for listing the complete 100 on a post!
So many times these top city listed for what ever reason articles never give the complete list or the article is not accessible.
All of them have been overrun by illegal immigrants. That's the common thread!
Nashville's ranked #5?
Well, that just pisses me off!!!
Tell me, how did they come up with this subjective BS?
I trust my horoscope better.
Bangor would have done better if I hadn't moved away right after high school! GRRRRR!
Honolulu and Anchorage, too?
(Just kidding!)
Samoans in Honolulu, (I know they aren't illegals, but the folks are taxed and regulated to death there) and Ted Stevens in Alaska.
OK, two out of 100 is NOT a trend.
You're right. The traffic there is really bad, but the tourists are far worse.
We're only 78th?!?! What kind of $*$@# *#@$@ is this?!?!?
OMG! I read through the list three times looking for Anchorage, or at least Juneau! I'd be mad if I lived in Anchorage too. Gosh, it's so close to Alaska, and yet...so far away. LOL! Thank you so much for pointing that out. I'll have to ask our son if he's angry in Anchorage. I don't think so, but he might be when he finds they made the list. teehee
...after some FReeper debates last week......I'm now sure that the angry ones are all Katherine Harris supporters in Florida......
New Orleans didn't make top 100?
"Another concept enjoying high correlation with descending percentage minority (i.e. non-white) population."
With Lost Angeles at #36? That is the FIRST CA city to make the list.
And with Santa Ana, CA not making the list? FYI Santa Ana has the HIGHEST percent Hispanic population of major cities (pop. of Santa Ana near 300,000 and about 79 percent Hispanic).
