Wisconsin has one area that landed in the top 20 of the healthiest communities in America.
U.S. News & World Report teamed up with the Aetna Foundation to review data of 500 communities and determine which are the healthiest in the United States.
Here is what the report had to say about where you live and your health:
"How well and even how long you live can be 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."
To determine the healthiest communities, the data reviewed factors such as population health, equity, education, economy, housing, food & nutrition, environment, public safety, community vitality, and infrastructure.
