This is very interesting and pretty cool: The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has created an interactive feature: County Health Rankings & Roadmaps. They ask: “How healthy is your community?”

To find the answer, you plug in your county. You'll see your ranking in your state; you also can compare your county directly with other counties.

According to the site, “The Rankings are based on a model of population health that emphasizes the many factors that, if improved, can help make communities healthier places to live, learn, work and play. Building on the work of America's Health Rankings, the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute has used this model to rank the health of Wisconsin’s counties every year since 2003.”
