METHODOLOGY

For this study, BetterDoctor.com examined the following data for each city:

1. Population data about physical fitness (exercise rates, eating habits, chronic health problems and disease rates, access to parks and recreational activities, and more).
2. The percentage of doctors in the state that are highly rated according to BetterDoctor’s comprehensive, seven-variable algorithm.
3. The percentage of residents with health insurance coverage to assess how feasible it is for residents to get medical care.

OTHER INTERESTING FINDINGS

* Ranked #1 overall, Boston has a greater percentage of its residents covered by health insurance coverage than any other city.
* In Minneapolis, the city’s high exercise rate and excellent doctor-to-resident ratio helped it secure our ranking's second position.
* Memphis was deemed the 'unhealthiest city in America' due in large part to its very low physical fitness rates and limited numbers of quality doctors.
