Annual county health rankings released

Example: Missouri counties
How healthy is your county? The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation at the University of Wisconsin on Wednesday released its annual county health rankings. They provide a broad snapshot of your county's health and how it relates to your neighboring counties.

The rankings are based 30 percent on health behaviors (tobacco and alcohol use, diet and exercise, sexual activity), 20 percent on clinical care (access to care and quality of care), 40 percent on socioeconomic factors (education, employment, income, family and social support, community safety), and 10 percent on physical environment (environmental quality and built environment).

Complete results can be found here.
