Where you live in the U.S. can affect your health. More cities in the U.S. have healthier habits than others, while other cities have better access to health care. 

The 180 most populous cities in the U.S. were evaluated across 43 key indicators of good health by the personal finance site WalletHub. These metrics were divided across four categories: health care, food, fitness and green space. Each metric was graded by WalletHub analysts on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 representing the most favorable conditions for a healthy lifestyle.

Data collected includes the cost of a medical visit, fruit and vegetable consumption, and the amount of COVID-19 cases. The data was collected over the course of a month. 

Report finds: People in these US states are the most stressed

Dog’s Health: There’s an outbreak of an infectious dog disease in Florida. Should pet owners be worried?

“The data comes from reputable, mostly government sources, such as the Census Bureau, the Council for Community and Economic Research, the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the CDC,”  WalletHub analyst Jill Gonzalez said in a statement to USA TODAY.

San Francisco, California ranked No. 1 due to its residents’ mental and physical health, health insurance coverage and because 83% of its population is vaccinated, according to Gonzalez. 

Conversely, Brownsville, Texas ranked last based on a lack of health care providers and healthy food restaurants. Brownsville also has the highest share of obese residents, according to Gonzalez.

“Brownsville ranks dead last because of the low share of adults who engage in any physical activity, about 61%, and the low well-being physical score,” Gonzalez said.

Fermont, California has the lowest share of physically unhealthy adults at 8%, which is 2.5 times lower than Huntington, West Virginia, the city with the highest at 19.60%.

Laredo, Texas has the lowest cost per doctor’s visit, $56, which is 3.9 times less expensive than in Juneau, Alaska, the city with the highest at $219.

Glendale, Arizona and Lewiston, Maine have the lowest average monthly cost for a fitness-club membership, $15.00, which is 7.2 times less expensive than in New York, the city with the highest at $108.26.
