Places like L.A., Detroit, NYC, etc, would be far more stressful than Chicago to me.

And Forbes has lead the way in "douchiest, most useless rankings lists designed to be repeated by those who lack critical reasoning skills and we can generate more publicity" for at least a decade running now.

I think that would be a better determination.

Enormous city=enormous stress....esp. if you are the type of person who doesn't like large crowds, heavy traffic, people with short fuses, urban grit, higher crime, higher cost of living, generally smaller spaces in which to live, etc. But then I suppose you would not attempt to live the city life if these things truly bothered you. But if you are addicted to city life, Chicago would not be a bad choice. I imagine the weather is a major stress factor to those who don't like clouds and freezing cold for a good chunk of the year. But hey, whatever dont kill ya makes you stronger.
