Livability — a division of Journal Communications — ranks small to mid-sized cities on how great they are to live and work in or visit.
The list editors compiled spending data to find places with quality and affordable healthcare and examined several measures of healthy communities, including the adult obesity rate, percent of residents with access to healthy food, ratio of physicians to residents, access to farmers markets, parks and EPA data on clean air and water.
Using the information compiled, Livability named the following 10 cities the “healthiest” in America.
1. Minneapolis
2. Cambridge, Mass.
3. Madison, Wis.
4. Miami
5. Bridgeport, Conn.
6. Arlington, Va.
7. Santa Ana, Calif.
8. Honolulu
9. Fort Collins, Colo.
10. Yonkers, N.Y.
