Do you live in the most unhealthy city in Nebraska?
This location, while special and magnificent in its own right, houses some of the most unhealthy residents in the state. Factors like health care, food, fitness, and green space all played a role in determining which Nebraska city was less healthy than the rest. While there are some extremely healthy individuals that inhabit the most unhealthy city in the state, the general population is less healthy than the rest of Nebraska.
According to a list compiled by WalletHub, the least healthy city in Nebraska is Omaha ranking 75th.
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."
