These 10 Counties Have The Healthiest People In All Of Tennessee

Tennessee is a gorgeous state, full of hiking opportunities and lakes and rivers just begging for your summertime. Take a look at the healthiest spots in this gorgeous state, counties that owe their title to a long average lifespan, low numbers regarding adult obesity, smoking, and teen pregnancies, and great all-around health ratings. Take a look!

10) Robertson County

Coming in at number 10 of 95, Robertson has a lot to be proud of with low inactivity rates and teen births.

9) Fayette County

Fayette squeaked on this list, almost getting bumped because 33% of adults aren't out there movin'. Just hop in a boat, guys - you got this.

8) Blount County

Extremely low numbers of premature death reign supreme in Blount. Must be all that crisp mountain air, don't you think?

7) Montgomery County

Physical activity numbers are high in Montgomery - GOAL!

6) Davidson County

Nashville lives here, and although the county may not be exceedingly walkable, we have a feeling those granola eating hipsters may have tipped the scales a bit.

5) Sumner County

Gorgeous Sumner County. We'd walk through your wildflower fields ANY day. All the heart eyes for this one.

4) Wilson County

Wilson County boasts a low number of uninsured inhabitants, which means getting to a doctor just ain't that difficult. Nice work.

3) Putnam County

With views like this, how could you NOT be outside?!

2) Rutherford County

This stunning little spot gets kids outside and in sports all summer, and it's paid off!

1) Williamson County

Located right outside Nashville, Williamson County is home to private schools and high incomes and LOTS of outdoor activities. It's no wonder this wealthy county takes the top spot. Great work, guys!

Every state has the good, the bad and the ugly. But it's neat to see how fantastically Tennessee has performed. We're proud of you, Rocky Top. How do YOU feel about these numbers? Let us know in the comments below!
