The health of a city plays an important role in determining its overall well-being, and according to a recent WalletHub study, Fayetteville is struggling financially when it comes to health. The study ranked Fayetteville as the 176th healthiest city in the United States, making it one of the top 10 unhealthiest cities on the list. Factors such as food deserts, housing shortages, and lack of proper healthcare can make it difficult for individuals to prioritize their health, as noted by the World Health Organization.
Staying healthy is a personal responsibility, but where people live can greatly impact their success in maintaining good health. Cities that provide access to high-quality healthcare, green spaces, recreation centers, and healthy food are considered the best for overall health. In terms of specific rankings for Fayetteville, healthcare came in at No. 146, access to healthy food at No. 177, fitness at No. 166, and green spaces at No. 172.
