Miami was ranked fourth on the list of the 10 healthiest cities in the country, according to Livability. The publication cited Miami’s low obesity rate — 12 percent below the national average — and the city’s abundant opportunities for exercise.
Reasons why Miami is a great place to live. Whether hiking in Everglades National Park, biking along 30-miles on the South Dade Trail, or canoeing on the Oleta River. Other factors that played into ranking for the top-5 were good air quality, health, highly qualified doctors, abundant options for eating organic food.
Minneapolis, Minnesota took the top spot because of its park system, which covers 17 percent of the city, as well as low percentages of residents who smoke or have insurance. At the bottom of the list was Yonkers, New York, which was valued for its walkable neighborhoods and green program that recycles Styrofoam and buildings equipped with solar panels.
