San Francisco tops WalletHub’s list of Healthiest Cities, while Brownsville, Texas, comes in last.
The site looked at more than 180 of the country’s most populated cities, using more than three dozen metrics in four main categories: health care; food (healthy-eating restaurants, nutritionists per capita, and the like); fitness; and green space, which looks at a city’s parks, hiking and biking trails, and its overall “greenness.”
