Akron was also lower on the list but fared slightly better at 132. Columbus came in at 110. Cincinnati got the highest ranking of healthiest cities, reaching 39 with strong scores in fitness and green space.
Fortunately, no Ohio cities were among those with the highest premature death rates. Those cities were Augusta, Ga., Charleston, WV, St. Louis Mo., Huntington, WV, and Baltimore Md., according to WalletHub.
WalletHub says it looked at 41 key indicators of good health ranging from medical visit cost to fruit and vegetable consumption and the share of physically active adults, according to their website.
