Report shows which states' counties are healthiest

MSNBC reports:

Startling differences in the health of residents living just a few miles apart are highlighted in a new health rankings report that assesses wellness in nearly all the nation's 3,000-plus counties.


A typical example is in Illinois, where the healthiest of its 102 counties, Kendall, is right next door to the one ranked 65th, LaSalle. Twice as many LaSalle County residents are in poor or fair health and smoking rates are double the national average.

An interesting article.
