The Healthiest Communities rankings and scores from U.S. News & World Report show how nearly 3,000 U.S. counties and county equivalents perform in 80 metrics across 10 health-related categories.
Why is this important?
How well and how long you live are shaped by where you live. Local health outcomes are often driven by factors like a community’s economic performance, the strength of its education system, the availability and affordability of housing and myriad other elements that affect residents’ overall quality of life.
Knowing how such factors interact to create a healthier community – or a sicker one – is an important first step toward targeting resources where they'll do the most good. And geography offers a powerful lens through which to focus reform.
