The list, in its third year, examined 2,000 U.S. cities, towns, suburbs, exurbs, villages and townships, each with at least approximately 20,000 residents, and nearly 200 data categories to find the best place in each state. 

Fortune worked with partners — including Caring.com, CVS Health, Healthgrades, INeedAnAcom, Sharecare and Witlytic — that helped provide information for the data categories, which span five themes: education, resources for aging adults, general wellness, financial health and livability.

The publication also relied on information from federal agencies and sourced data from places including America’s Health Rankings, the Council for Community and Economic Research, the Johns Hopkins University Data Archive and KFF. Read more about the methodology here.
