BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — Depending on the data source, the results for a particular research topic can prove vastly different. For instance, a new study has ranked Louisiana as the saddest state, whereas a past study had the opposite result.
Profanity. That’s one of the reason Louisiana is ranked as the saddest state in America, according to new research released by the University of Vermont.
The study utilized more than 10 million geotagged tweets from 2011 to map the moods of Americans. Researchers rated 10,000 words on a scale of 1 to 10. Negative words such as mad, hate, no, boo, smoke and jail were on the low end. Among those words were expletives.
Louisiana was ranked as the saddest state, which was largely due to the use of profanities. They then broke down the data to establish the top five saddest cities and Louisiana took home top bill not once, but twice.
The five most bummed-out cities were Beaumont, Texas; Albany, Georgia;Texas City, Texas; Shreveport, Louisiana; and Monroe, Louisiana.
