WASHINGTON — Detroit has been touted as being “America’s Comeback City” by some since declaring bankruptcy in 2013, but a 2017 study does The Motor City no favors in its revitalization efforts. According to WalletHub, Detroit is the unhealthiest city in America, as opposed to San Francisco, which got the top grade in a study of the country’s 150 most populated cities.
To reach their findings, WalletHub graded each city using 34 categories as metrics along with a specific weight for each category. The categories were split among four groups that accounted for 25 points each: health care, food, fitness, and green space. The higher the score, the healthier the city.

Categories considered in the study included mental health counselors per capita, cost of medical visit, and quality of public hospitals for health care; healthy restaurants per capita, share of obese residents, and produce consumption for categories under food; fitness clubs per capita, weight loss centers per capital, and share of residents who engage in any physical activity for categories in fitness; and quality of parks, bike score, and walking trails per capita among the categories for green space.
The top five healthiest cities in America were (1-5): San Francisco, Calif.; Salt Lake City, Utah; Scottsdale, Ariz.; Seattle, Wash.; Portland, Ore.
The unhealthiest cities were (146-150): Shreveport, La.; Laredo, TX; Memphis, Tenn.; Brownsville, TX; Detroit, Mich.

The WalletHub.com list also included a breakdown of best and worst cities for several of the categories, including the cities with the highest and lowest costs of medical care, highest and lowest premature death rates, and highest and lowest costs of memberships to fitness centers. They also break down the weighted values per category to fully explain their methodology.








Most of the cities at the bottom of the list are highly dependent on welfare.
From working as a cashier I can tell you that when food is “free” people make very poor choices. When they are spending their hard earned money don’t have much of it, people tend to focus on getting the most nutrition for the buck…people on food stamps buy whatever they want. Most monthly food stamp allotments are about double what our average non-food stamp customer spends.
There is one notable exception…American senior citizens rarely have food stamps, and when they do the amounts are so low it is hardly worth it for them to swipe the card.
Yes, I can see how much you are getting in food stamps, along with your WIC and cash balances when you swipe your card.
This was a private study put out by a personal finance company. My guess is that they have quite a few customers in the San Fran area and not so many in Detroit.
Makes sense – I have issues on quite of few of their ‘findings’. Just DELETE…
No problem. All the folks in Detroit should simply illegally immigrate to Windsor Canada right across the border. They can have a better life and collect some nice benefits from the Canadian government. No problem right? right?
Total bullshit. These ignorant fools must have some gov’t funding. Money to waste. Taxpayers money.
Huh, it sure looks most of the top ranked cities in this study by WalletHub are also where most of their customer base is located, but that surely doesn’t have any impact on the study results, no way, right?
Spent eighteen months working in healthcare in Detroit. Forest most dangerous city in my experience. I have been in every State but three. Will never return to Detroit!!!
Didn’t enjoy the wonders of dieversity? Didn’t enjoy the african “culture”? How terrible of you! 🙂
Classic example of Liberalism at work. Every effort! Yes! Every effort failed!!
You wouldn’t recognize it!
Another famously questionable study, full of made up, skewed and distorted metrics to support an a priori conclusion. How much taxpayer funds were used to support the derelicts who composed this fable?
I think I would be a little skeptical of all those California cities listed there. Probably brought to you by the same people that had Hillary +4 on election night.
Good One!
You too Amos10
You wanna get bitc* slapped will?
Judging by the well-thought-out responses to this word salad of a story, I think we can conclude that this is Fake News!
More fake news.
Well, San Francisco’s stellar score is surely due to it’s population of illegals drawn there to bask in it’s “sanctuary city” glow, as well as it’s magnetic attraction to all the homeless who enjoy the freedom to defecate and urinate everywhere in public, unfettered by any city attempts to curtail it. That’ll bring good “health” grades every time.
Indeed! Because one always thinks of feces and used syringes as being synonomous with good health!
Did anyone go to SF before writing this? Fitness clubs and walking trails? Look out for the needles.
Nah, this piece is utter trash. You know for fact the “author” never walked down Ofarell, Post, 6th or any of the other grimy streets (80 percent of SF).
Just because SF has more mental health counselors per capita doesn’t make it a healthier city. In fact, you could argue that the fact that there is a market for so many more is indicative of the reverse.
San Francisco….!??? I presume they’ve cleared out the stench of human sewage..!!?? Does the Kate Steinle family agree with this finding…??
Who funded the study… the LGBQT community…???
You got it!! Bunch of smarmy corksoakers and butt humpers. May they rot in hell
San Francisco, Portland, Seattle…They may be physically “healthy”, but mental & social FREAKS. I prefer to chow down on some yummy Memphis BBQ any day and chat with normal people. But thats just me.
USS Independence used in Bikini Island atomic weapons test was towed and sunk off the coast of San Francisco. Bay Area women especially in Marin County have abnormally high rates of invasive breast cancer. Being a sanctuary city, San Francisco County has the highest case rate of tuberculosis. 3.5 times the national average. Also SF has higher than average occurrence of MRSA. And new cases of Zika are on the rise.
Super high abortion and feminista rate, making their parts shrivel.
The hell you say! You mean having insurance doesn’t guarantee good health?! I’ll be damned. Being a healthcare professional in MI, I can honestly state that there are more enrolled in ACA, Medicare, and Medicaid in Detroit than most of the rest of the state.
Maybe Detroit will take a hint from Kalifonia and secede too. The rest of the State will be glad to help them pack. As long as they take Dearborn with them.
Amen. They could easily become an annex of Windsor. Would suit us non urban dwellers just fine!
Please don’t take Dearborn away. Burn it to the ground. Get rid of the filth and vermin. Make way for rebuilding for Mideast Christians!!
Ah the “comeback city”, Detroit, at the bottom again. Renaissancing for 65 years.
Detroit was once known as the “Paris of the West” because of its culture, art and architecture. Detroit at one time had the highest per capita income in the U.S. After 60 years of democrat control, it has been gutted and bankrupt.
Yep, I was born and raised there for 30 years.
The downtown area is roaring back….MAJOR revival! You get out of the downtown area and NOTHING has really changed…
Just hope you don’t have any car breakdown, or are purposely involved in accident on your way to or from downtown. Downtown is very safe, getting there and back to the suburbs is where the danger lies.
Yep!
Born and Raised near Rouge Park.
San Francisco the healthiest city? Clearly STDs were not included in the metrics for this study.
…or drug use.
Or an overabundance of self absorbed liberal snowflakes.
Or urine and feces in the streets……
Fecal matter in all kinds of places it is not supposed to be. Another Leftie made contest made to measure for the Lefties to win. You would think they would get tired of their own self-aggrandizing? But that artifically elevated self-esteem requires lots of maintenance.
You should ask them if they are getting in shape for the trip to hell.???????
Hell is not that far from Detroit really (Less than an hour drive) It would most likely score higher than Detroit but not much.
How can you ignore AIDS/HIV/STDs and drug addictions?
Healthcare is different from health
“Food” is at best subjective.
Green Spaces in Portland and San Francisco are often/always homesteaded by the vagrants and addicts and are all up unusable
STDs don’t cost nearly as much money as obesity and obesity related diseases. Everyone that’s overweight should be charged more money for insurance.
With all the nasty old STDs that are now drug resistant that’s a stupid thing to say.
The CDC isn’t calling the problem epidemic for no reason.
Joe says stupid things, ’cause he’s…
Free markets baby!! #’murica #MAGA
Most recent CDC estimates report ~$147 billion annual spending on obesity related illness. ~$16 billion on STD. Or roughly 10.9% of obesity spending. While epidemics of STDs may exist (as epidemic is regional), a pandemic of obesity exists (nationwide) sending health care costs skyrocketing. If you’re upset about paying for other people’s healthcare costs, you should be more upset passing a heffer on a hoveround, than a poor person.
Look at the increase in STDs. Obesity is not exploding like STDs
The word is spelled, Heifer.
Furthermore, the CDC, does NOT list AIDS as a STD. (thanks to the gay agenda)
Just fact checking, your post.
However, if you include HIV/AIDS treatments and related drugs?
The numbers, are astronomically higher.
Your sources (Webster) appear to be accurate; you got me there. My sources, (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/articles/2013-02-13/sex-diseases-cost-16-billion-a-year-to-treat-cdc-says?client=safari ) appear to accurate. I got you on that one. No gay agenda, just information.
Unless you have some counter evidence to support your claim….
At least obesity isn’t contagious.
I thought health insurance was affordable because of the Affordable Care Act.
https://www.google.com/amp/amp.timeinc.net/fortune/2016/06/21/us-health-care-costs/%3Fsource%3Ddam?client=safari
On the macro it has. But when it gets repealed, free market should take over in earnest, and discriminate against lifestyle choices, like life and car insurance do.
Claptrap. Takes a lot of meds to cure that dynamo hum.
A food guzzler tax.
So, Joey, what STD do you have?
I’m gonna show restraint and not crush the softball you just lob to me.
Crush it with your participation trophy?
I would have paid to see a great response to that one lobbed over the plate. For as smug as his response was, it was begging to be responded to with cold and calculating humor.
“Here goes Happy from 9 feet. Uh oh! Here comes the putter throw! What’s this? A new, restrained Happy Gilmore.”
I love how his response also shows how oblivious he was to such an easy setup. Ironically what you are saying is statistically correct, and as a conservative myself, I don’t understand why pointing to the much greater problem of obesity is a big deal. Who cares what your political lean is if you are giving proper facts in the proper context. It doesn’t mean STDs aren’t a problem as you even noted, but saying that one thing is 10 times the problem as the other is actually a damn good point.
Additionally just in the realm of yo-momma jokes, you had a good dozen jokes that could have blistered as responses.
Have a good one brother.
I am a middle of the road pragmatist. So refreshing to hear from a voice of reason on the right. Thank you. I’ve been given the impression recently that all hard data contrary to one’s beliefs was disbarred from the Republican Party.
Well when Trump was elected, I was sent a giant bucket and told I had to carry water for him. I kept misplacing the bucket though, so they are very very angry at me. 🙂
As I get older, the hardness of the edges of my conservatism seem to smooth out. As I get more dedicated to my church I’m starting to understand what one of my associate pastors said about his politics. He said he was too conservative for liberals and too liberal for conservatives because he tries his best to follow what Jesus actually preached, and it’s at times anathema to a rigid left/right ideology.
Ironically though I feel like I can be friends with everyone because what you believe is less important to me than how you treat other people and there are truly decent people on both sides, and truly indecent people on both sides. I’ve found that politics is not as much a predictor of human kindness as many would like to pretend it is. I still consider myself more right than left though because of my economics degree pushing me towards the siren’s call of Adam Smith, Bastiat and Hayek.
I feel enriched from having made your acquaintance. Have a good one, and let me know how pragmatism works out for you. I find it not pragmatic enough. Ha!
That’s a big fat liberal lie.
Of course you are right about the cost of being obese but in this Scared New World you are not allowed to tell someone they are FAT. It might hurt their feelings.
They cost more: AIDS drugs are the most expensive. SF is filled with people taking billions of dollars of drugs.
A month supply of Odefsey costs around 3k, a 90 day supply of Complera costs about 7k. Hard facts, just check with your pharmacist.
Only a Brain Damaged LibTurd would believe a word that you just posted
or that is in this Article !
Joe, not many people on your side…baby.
So, you do not think they should HAVE TO cover them and their pre existing condition?
Nor was Mental Health included….
Mental Health is seriously a growing concern everywhere in this country and it’s sorely neglected.
Drug use…People altering their normal metabolism with chemicals comes with a price.
You are correct, however, it’s more than that. I work at a Children’s hospital and much of the mental health needs for Children (at least the very young ones) don’t always stem from drug use (unless it’s the effects of their parent’s drug use) and the abuse that comes from that.
The toxins are coming at them via food, water and air. Then they get toxic vaccines shoved in them. They don’t stand a chance and us adults let them be abused. We do NOTHING about this assault on them. Ignorance seems to be the devil’s sandbox.
Between you, “Booshcat”, and “DerRotMax”, you covered the reasons I thought that the list was BS. Thank you.
Nor insanity.
Old and retired people can’t afford to live there, they retire to cities and states with lower costs of living.
More importantly Fukushima Fallout was not included in the metrics of this study… Those Ocean currents do travel from from Japan to the Pacific West Coast of North America.
I lived in SF for over a decade…you have no idea how accurate your statement is. I know someone that was stabbed with a used syringe by a homeless illegal while walking home through the TL. Turns out they wound up contracting HIV. I personally saw more feces, needles, dopefiends and dead bodies in SF than I care to revisit. This piece of trash article is leftist insanity.
Not to mention the toxicity of the air. I left the Bay Area over 8 years ago for a place in the country. It took 3 months for the garbage my body had accumulated from the air there to exit out of my system. I will tell you how bad. My sweat literally stung my skin. Yes, that bad. People don’t know what healthy is until you get away from areas with heavy auto traffic.
Once again, another progressive liberal piece full of lies and clap trap babble. This is a cesspool city without a doubt. Over the last 20-years, we have saved approximately $8,000 and used those savings to visit other locations mostly outside the state.
Not to mention illegal aliens in a “sanctuary city” bringing in Tuberculosis and all kinds of diseases that were once extinct in America.
Minneapolis – another town full of illegal aliens festering with TB.
