Most Stressed Right Now
Current CSI Score
Updated from City Stress Index data.
Live City
Chicago
City Stress Index · Chicago 311 + emergency calls + weather + baseline data
Population-adjusted pressure plus above-average poverty keeps Chicago in High Stress.
Live City
Honolulu
City Stress Index · Honolulu 311 + emergency calls + weather + baseline data
Census baseline is steadier here, so the score holds near the weather-adjusted level.
Live City
Houston
City Stress Index · Houston 311 file source confirmed + live emergency calls + weather + baseline data
Higher poverty and lower median income add baseline pressure to the flood/weather-adjusted score.
Houston 311 MTD public text extract is confirmed. Parser/importer is next, so the 311 score is still provisional until that file is automated.
Live City
Las Vegas
City Stress Index · Las Vegas official 311 API + emergency calls + weather + baseline data
Moderate economic baseline pressure adds a small adjustment on top of heat stress.
Las Vegas service requests are now tied to the official ArcGIS FeatureServer. Recent 30-day snapshot: 495 records; lifetime records: 292,500.
Live City
Los Angeles
City Stress Index · Los Angeles 311 + emergency calls + weather + baseline data
Large population plus elevated poverty adds a modest baseline stress adjustment.
Live City
New York City
City Stress Index · New York City 311 + emergency calls + weather + baseline data
Very large population and elevated poverty add baseline pressure even after normalization.

How It Works
Built from public city pressure signals
City Stress Index combines public civic-pressure signals including emergency-call pressure, 311 service requests, crime/public-safety data, weather, Census baseline factors, and future traffic and fire/EMS layers.
Source cleanup status: Las Vegas 311 is now confirmed through the official ArcGIS API. Houston 311 is confirmed as a daily MTD file source and needs the next importer/parser pass.
