For the project, researchers scored counties in roughly 80 indicators, giving the heaviest weight to population health and equity. The publication recently published a list of the top 500 healthiest communities in America. Four counties in Colorado and three areas of Virginia made the top 10 list: Falls Church city, Virginia Douglas County, Colorado Broomfield County, Colorado Los Alamos County, New Mexico Dukes County, Massachusetts Fairfax city, Virginia Hamilton County, Indiana Routt County, Colorado Ouray County, Colorado Loudoun County, Virginia To see whether your community landed on the list and where it ranked, view the entire rankings list at U.S. News & World Report.
