U.S. Healthiest City? Burlington, VT
My training partner sent me this link since she recalled I ran the marathon there on Memorial Day and stayed with my aunt and uncle. The Centers for Disease Control put the city on top.
The most interesting part of the article is the comparison of this “top” city in health, with its opposite, Huntingdon, WV. The two are similar in some ways: out of the way, colleges town with mostly white populations. But, Burlington is a bit younger, more community focussed, has more people with college educations and has less poverty.
