Depending on where you live, you may have a better chance of being healthier, whether it's more access to resources, better food and nutrition, public safety, or a variety of different factors.

U.S. News & World Report recently released its rankings of the Top 500 healthiest communities in the country, in collaboration with CVS Health and the Aetna Foundation, scoring each on 10 categories that drive community health: population health, equity, education, housing, food & nutrition, environment, public safety, community vitality, and infrastructure.

"Knowing how such factors interact to create a healthier community — or a sicker one — is an important first step toward targeting resources where they'll do the most good," according U.S. News. "And geography offers a powerful lens through which to focus reform."

To determine the list, nearly 3,000 counties across the country were evaluated on 84 indicators across the 10 categories.
