It’s pretty hard to find a healthier place to live than Blaine County. With easy access to primary care physicians and low obesity rates, the county has easily topped Idaho as the healthiest county in the state, according to a recent health study. Unfortunately, for those who live on the edge of the Wood River Valley, the study’s authors didn’t find the same results. Gooding County ranked 40th among Idaho’s 44 counties, making it one of the least healthy counties in the state. The University of Wisconsin study also found that Jerome County ranked 33rd, while Twin Falls County ranked 27th/Kimberlee Kruesi, Twin Falls Times-News. More here.

Question: Should Kootenai & Bonnner counties rank higher than #10 & #12?
