Douglas County has been named the healthiest county in Colorado. The County Health Rankings were released last week, ranking almost every county across the country in the following areas: the rate of people dying before age 75, the percentage of adult smokers, the percentage of people who report being in fair or poor health, the number of days people report being in poor physical and mental health, the percentage of adults who are obese, and the rate of infants with low birth weights. Social and economic factors were also studied, including unemployment rate, high school graduation rate, and the number of children in poverty.
Eagle, Pitkin, Boulder, and Summit counties rounded out the top five healthiest counties in Colorado. As for other Denver metro counties, Arapahoe County ranked 15th, Jefferson County ranked 11th, and Denver County ranked 45th.
