*LIST* The Healthiest (And Unhealthiest) Cities In America

While we all can eat better and move more to get in shape, it’s pretty apparent that where we live can also play a huge role in how healthy we are. So, where are people the healthiest in the U.S.?

  • Well, WalletHub set out to determine just that, looking at more than 180 of the most populated U.S. cities across 44 key indicators of good health.
  • They broke things down into four categories:
    • Health Care, like the cost of a doctor’s visit.
    • Food, such as fruit and vegetable consumption.
    • Fitness.
    • Green Space.
  • With all these factors in mind, San Francisco, California once again earns the honor of healthiest city in America.
  • San Fran scored an overall 68.54 out of 100, coming in first in food and green spaces.
  • Ranking highest for fitness is Scottsdale, Arizona, while Columbia, Maryland has the top health care rank.
