How Healthy is Bergen County? 2016 Rankings of NJ’s Healthiest Counties
Bergen Surprised Us!…...
According to the the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute annual rankings of New Jersey’s healthiest counties, Bergen County is ranked fourth out of the state’s 21 counties. Hunterdon County is the top ranked healthiest county for the seventh consecutive year.
Rankings are created by collecting current data on 35 factors that measure quality and “quantity” of life and the percent of the population that lives to 75 and older. Education, income levels, crime rates, proximity to grocery stores, parks and community recreational facilities, the availability of health care, and tests that monitor water and air quality are also factors.
