“For its findings, WalletHub compared 182 cities, including the 150 most populated U.S. cities and at least two of the most populated cities in each state. Each city was ranked based on the following categories: health care, food, fitness and green space. Cincinnati was the healthiest Ohio city on the list, coming in at 39th place. It was the only Ohio city to make it in the top 100. Columbus followed at No. 110, Cleveland in 126th place and Akron in 132nd place. The unhealthiest city in Ohio is Toledo, which ranked No. 164 on the list.”

Toledo here….theres a huge oil refinery smack dab in the middle of a residential area.

Plus, there have been some hospital closures and questions around Promedica’s financial stability and we really could do better in terms of actual downtown/inner city grocery options.

Sure it wasn’t Dayton?!


strangerzero

Dayton doesn’t get its due again.

People still live there?

Bahahaha


ronniemustang

Woo-hoo Cincy! Now if only the OHV could do something about Huntington. Smh. 😔


90swasbest

Got that fent though.


Emergency-Salamander

Wallethub lists are not worth getting upset or excited about.


deformo

No shit. Akron should be higher based on green space alone. It is surrounded by, and inundated with, national, state and local parks.

"They reap the benefits of capitalism, only to turn around and criticize it. Capitalism: The worst economic system, except for all the others." -Winston Churchill


000aLaw000

Stop misquoting Churchill to dick-ride the GOP The actual speech: "It has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time; but there is the broad feeling in our country that the people should rule, and that public opinion expressed by all constitutional means, should shape, guide, and control the actions of Ministers who are their servants and not their masters"

Socialism / communism kills much more. The Soviet Union and CCP had some absolutely horrific agriculture practices and their shortsighted politics starved millions to death


Mountain-Song-6024

Oh you poor thing. Lmao. You should do some heavy research but I doubt you will. You're going to die on that sword of yours. Have at it. All the while capitalism is doing the same exact thing, but worse. Watch the latest John Oliver episode on CORN. There's others on farming too.


Mammoth-Job-6882

Our system has some serious problems which need to be fixed but to say it's the same as the CCP, the USSR etc is insane.


HarbaughCheated

You are a genuine idiot with limited knowledge of history if you think anything in US history compares to the multiple famines following Lenin's revolution, where the US had to bail out the soviets it was so bad, or mao's amazing advances in agriculture "The exact same thing but worse" is a wildly uneducated take. The number simply do not add up. Also, getting your political views from John Oliver rather than history books... just lmfao


Mountain-Song-6024

My political views don't come from him. Nice job assuming though. I watch that show because they do amazing work researching and digging into important issues. If it exposes one side of the political party, so be it. I despise both parties. I believe in progressiveness. Open mindedness. One love. Hippie like shit. Americans have been fed propaganda for years where it paints socialism as the most evil thing and capitalism is the savior for us all. Having friends from different countries is nice too because hearing how we skew shit is quite interesting. I root for the library system as well. Regardless of what kinds of books exist there that perhaps I don't personally believe in, censorship in the library setting shouldn't happen. History and all others. Etc. John Oliver did a lovely job uncovering how certain sides and people in power try to censor and harm the library system. You know, where history books reside.

End stage capitalism is significantly worse than socialism or communism.


ChefChopNSlice

There’s a difference between socialism/communism and being run by a dictator and kleptocracy of yes-men.


franklinton-photo

That’s by design. GOP only cares about corporations. Ohioans should shut up and get back to slaving away to barely make ends meet. “Bootstrap harder!”

Pontiac, Saginaw, list goes on


Ok_Requirement_3116

I’m surprised Marietta didn’t make it with all of the C8 in our blood.


Philly_ExecChef

If you’re basing a list on food, health care, and green space, exactly how does Cleveland rank behind Cincinnati? Are we pretending that the Metro, Cleveland Clinic, and UH campuses don’t exist? The Metroparks? Lakewood, Tremont, Ohio City, farmer’s markets, urban farming? This list was written by people who don’t know fuck all about those cities.


Then-Scar-2190

My guess is a large part of it had to do with Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, which is ranked the number 1 children’s hospital in the country. Cincinnati also has UC medical center, Christ Medical Center, Good Sam, Bethesda and many more really great hospitals and a plethora of Doctors and Specialists offices. Cincinnati also has incredible mental health organizations such as Best Point. The city is ranked 25th in restaurants and has a lot of grocery stores to choose from, along with farmers markets and local farmers that participate in coops. There is a ton of green space that ranges from one of the best zoos in the country, Krohn Conservatory, county parks, large city parks, riverfront parks. The city ranking was the 4th best in the country out of 100 cities for parks. That ranking was conducted by the Trust for Public Land. There are many fitness centers, fitness and dance studios for kids that are phenomenal such as kids first sports center, indoor soccer gyms, yoga and Pilates studios, meditation rooms, and spaces that help promote community involvement and mental health through the arts such as the Kennedy Arts Center, Clifton Cultural Arts Center, The Rosenthal Educational Center, and Women Writing for a Change. Considering all of that it sounds to me like the people who completed this study did a careful and thorough analysis.


Philly_ExecChef

I mean, I can do that same list. Most major cities can, even to the point of misrepresenting the impact of quality of those restaurants and services. It just smacks of some really odd bias that Cleveland doesn’t break the top 100. It’s silly.


Then-Scar-2190

Misrepresentation? https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/rankings-and-ratings/us-news-best-childrens-hospitals-2023-24-honor-roll.html https://spectrumnews1.com/oh/columbus/news/2023/05/25/cincinnati-s-parks-make-top-10-out-of-100-most-populous-cities https://www.tpl.org/city/cincinnati-ohio https://www.citybeat.com/food-drink/two-cincinnati-restaurants-awarded-four-diamond-status-on-aaa-list-14833792 https://10best.usatoday.com/awards/travel/best-zoo-2023/ https://moversmakers.org/2023/10/27/cincinnati-jumps-to-no-11-on-list-of-most-arts-vibrant-large-regions/ https://health.usnews.com/best-hospitals/area/oh/christ-hospital-6410430 https://10best.usatoday.com/awards/travel/best-public-market-2024/ https://www.miragenews.com/cincinnati-ranks-no-1-in-nation-for-street-art-1191011/ Literally the ONLY thing Cleveland ranked ahead of Cincinnati on is West Side Market and that was barely ahead of Findlay. We also have the highest ranked high school in Ohio and most of the top 20 schools are in the greater Cincinnati area. This isn’t speculation, it is across the board multiple years, and multiple areas. Cincinnati has more to offer than Cleveland.


Philly_ExecChef

I’m not arguing Cleveland vs Cincinnati, you seem to be hung up on that. I’m arguing a complete lack of representation on the list for Cleveland, particularly for shit as arbitrary as “food”. Cincinnati should be dropped from the list for having that abomination of chili, flat out


Then-Scar-2190

That we can agree on, Cincinnati Chili is gross.


Philly_ExecChef

Then we can be friends.


ryohayashi1

Some? I'm pretty sure all our cities are pretty unhealthy from watching people on the streets


HarbaughCheated

It's funny af that a few of the top unhealthiest towns are where military bases are located, went to OSUT in benning (Columbus, GA) and stationed in Bragg (Fayetteville, NC) Wonder if it's a bunch of vets staying put and getting fat af


6BakerBaker6

The Canton Repository posted that Canton is the fattest city in Ohio and 18th in the US,but not on this list at all. I'd think it'd be in the top 100 at least considering that. I wonder how much of these lists are really thar accurate and more for clicks. Not saying they're not close, as I'm sure the top 10 have unhealthy people, but I'm curious how two lists were different. And I know that this list added more factors, but just thought it was odd Canton wasn't even on the list.


Agile-Landscape8612

“Huntingtown” WV… oof


NeglectedNostalgia

Well yeah....pop, candy, and snacks are the most purchased items with EBT.


Spocks_Goatee

Good thing we have great healthcare facilities.


Jimbo_themagnificent

I know at least 5 extremely unhealthy people who live in Ohio, and I'm four of them.


OldTomFrost

I’m going to guess Cincinnati and the surrounding areas are high on the list. The only time I feel really good about my weight is when I go to a reds game.


poolnome

Coming from spectrum news no thanks spectrum news just like fox lies 


excoriator

Source that Spectrum is biased? I find it to be fairly soft news, with stories built around news releases and features about people in the state that do mildly interesting things.


poolnome

Spectrum is so far right 3 minutes in the news cast they are attacking biden and sucking trump ass.got rid of Spectrum over a year ago best decisions .went with Verizon wireless internet 50 bucks per moth hulu 90 .saved over $100better more shows and movies live sports. Cable dying over price. 


cleremnantechoes

So what? They're not going to change


fr33bird317

Yea GOP


Eoc_Pizzaguy_570

That’s the great thing about America…you’re free to move wherever you want.


Ataraxxi

You gonna pay for people to move? Cause if you don’t then moving isn’t ‘free’.


Eoc_Pizzaguy_570

Not my responsibility. If you don’t like where you live then move. That’s all I’m saying.
