Washington, DC, 2nd Most Healthy City in America

Washington, D.C., is the second healthiest city in the US right behind San Jose, CA.

Thanks to Mark for the link. He adds:

“DC scores a full 100 on the mental health scale… and it’s the only city in the entire eastern half of the country that’s in the top 10.”

“Note: there is not a single top-10 city in the entire mid-west (and only one in the top 25 – Minneapolis, which is really just an misplaced liberal/socialist coastal city). Further proof that there is no good reason not to sell that entire, dull, cultureless expanse to Mexico at a steep discount so we can get our agricultural products from out there even cheaper.”

Here’s The List:

1) San Jose, Calif.

2) Washington, D.C.

One of the big surprises was the second-place ranking of Washington, D.C. It scored well in all five major categories, including the top score in mental wellness. Washingtonians reported feeling well physically, mentally and emotionally and had high scores in dental care and BMI (or body mass index). However, Washington did record higher than average incidences of diabetes and hypertension.

3) San Francisco

10) Austin-San Marcos, Texas
