Access to doctors and hospitals, healthy lifestyles, walkable streets, and local fitness culture.
How long it takes to get an appointment, whether there's a decent hospital within reach, whether specialists are available locally or require a drive to a bigger city, and whether the everyday environment makes a healthy routine easy or difficult.
Healthcare access is the aspect that matters least until it suddenly matters enormously. Distance to emergency care, specialist availability, and whether local practices are accepting new patients are worth checking before you need them — particularly for anyone with a chronic condition or young children.
Every score comes from residents rating the place they live, not from an index we calculated. People score healthcare & wellness from 0 to 10 alongside nine other life aspects, and write about what works and what doesn't. Each review is read by a person before it appears.
Cities are ranked on the mean of their health scores. Any city with at least one approved review is eligible, which means a highly-rated city with two reviews can currently outrank a well-known one with five — worth keeping in mind when reading the table above.
We're early. The rankings get more reliable with every review, so if you know one of these cities, add your own.
