Two Massachusetts Cities Named Healthiest in America

Massachusetts is a great place to live, work and play. The vast landscape that the state has to offer, from its Cape Cod beaches to glorious, green mountains in The Berkshires, Massachusetts has plenty of ways to get outside and exercise.

In addition to outdoor recreation, there is an abundance of gyms and studios for those who want to stay indoors. Couple that with farm-to-table restaurants and health-conscious eateries available almost every,  and there is no excuse to live a healthy and active lifestyle living in Massachusetts.

WalletHub recently compiled a list of the healthiest cities in the country, and Massachusetts had two make the list, one of them coming in just outside the top 10.

In order to identify the cities where health is a priority, the analytics company compared more than 180 of the largest U.S. cities across 43 key metrics. The data set ranges from the cost of a medical visit to fruit and vegetable consumption to the percentage of residents who are fully vaccinated.
