They crunched the data for 100 U.S. cities and discovered that, statistically speaking, St. Petersburg, Florida, is the most miserable place in the country. Detroit, Memphis, Tampa and Louisville rounded out the top five most chronically-crestfallen cities.

Minneapolis was not terribly far behind, earning a B+ and the 14th least-sad spot.
