  SURVEY
Do you think Cleveland should be listed as one of the most depressed cities?
People are a lot happier in Texas. Laredo tops the list. It was one of four cities earning an "A+" from the magazine, including El Paso, Jersey City and Corpus Christi.

Cities were ranked on information on antidepressant sales from NDC Health; suicide rates, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; and information from the CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.

Cleveland has also made the top of other distinctive lists.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the city landed the No. 1 rating in terms of big-city poverty in the United States.

It was also ranked as the worst major city for children to live in, NewsChannel5 reported. That's according to a report done by a group called the Population Connection.

It was the 20th most dangerous city in the country, according to Morgan Quitno Press, a Lawrence, Ka.-based publishing and research company. And Cleveland landed in the top 10 list of cities where living is difficult. A study from the Rockefeller Institute said Cleveland is among a handful of American cities where major urban hardship has existed for decades.

Men's Health also listed Cleveland as one of the flabbiest cities in the United States in October.
