Beloved Minnesota City Named 'Healthiest' Place To Live In The State

Do you live in the healthiest city in Minnesota?

This location, special and magnificent in its own right, houses some of the healthiest residents in the state. Factors like health care, food, fitness, and green space all played a role in determining which Minnesota city was healthier than the rest. While there are some unhealthy individuals that inhabit the healthiest city in the state, the general population is more healthy than the rest of Minnesota.

According to a list compiled by WalletHub, the healthiest city in Minnesota is Minneapolis ranking 8th.

Here's what WalletHub had to say about compiling the data to discover the healthiest and unhealthiest places to live across America:

"In order to identify the overall healthiest cities in the U.S., WalletHub compared 182 cities — including the 150 most populated U.S. cities, plus at least two of the most populated cities in each state — across four key dimensions: 1) Health Care, 2) Food, 3) Fitness and 4) Green Space. Our sample considers only the city proper in each case and excludes cities in the surrounding metro area. We then determined each city’s weighted average across all metrics to calculate its overall score and used the resulting scores to rank-order our sample."
