Here's what llc.org did to get their results "to determine our ranking, we analyzed more than 170 census-defined places with a population of 150,000 or more via the U.S. Census Bureau. We compared these cities across eight weighted variables: average hours worked per week, average commute time, percentage of workers who commute before 7 a.m., percentage of workers who are not able to work remotely, single-income families, income growth rate, percentage of employees without health insurance and each city's crime rate. Data for single-income families included families who live with children under 18. The income growth rate was calculated via median household income from 2020-2021." 

Everyone in Boise is in a different situation regarding their jobs, commute to work, average hours worked per week, and income growth rate. So even though you may feel more stressed about your work week than others, it's nice to know that we live in a community where we seem less stressed.
