The Healthiest City in America
A new ranking of the healthiest cities in America gives bragging rights to Rochester, Minnesota.
The website 24/7 WallSt crunched data on several factors, including the rate of deaths before age 75, access to health care, obesity, percentage of people who get flu shots and other preventative measures, and a host of other societal and economic points.
The top 10 healthiest metropolitan areas:
Rochester, Minnesota
Ames, Iowa
San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, California
Logan, Utah-Idaho
Provo-Orem, Utah
Boulder, Colorado
Iowa City, Iowa
Manhattan, Kansas
Corvallis, Oregon
State College, Pennsylvania
Again, you can make numbers say what you want with select data. I wouldn't move just because of this list. The only city on this list I've been to is Boulder. Seemed top-10 fit to me.
