San Jose among nation’s healthiest cities in survey, but advocates see room to improve

SAN JOSE HAS made the top 25 in a nationwide healthiest city survey, but advocates say deep inequities still persist.

San Jose ranks 22nd in a study compiled by personal finance outlet WalletHub, which pitted 182 of the nation’s most populous cities against each other on various health metrics, such as available health care, healthy foods, fitness and green space. San Francisco topped the charts, followed by Honolulu, Hawaii in second.
