County Health Rankings Aim to Create a Healthier Nation, County by County

The County Health Rankings and Roadmaps program, a project of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, has created a useful tool that ranks counties across the U.S. by various health measures and factors that influence health. The project tracks a wide variety of indicators that are linked to health, such as education, income, and health care, and also offers information on strategies to create healthier places to live.
