NBC Bay Area/Kris Sanchez, 5/29/17. "San Mateo County healthiest in California: Report."
| Happy and healthy in the Bay Area |
"San Mateo County has taken the top
spot in a newly released report that investigates — and ranks — people’s
health based on the conditions amid which they work, live and play. Education,
jobs, housing, physical environment and access to care are among the
factors that went in favor of California’s healthiest county, according to the study done by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Marin and Santa Clara counties occupy
ranks two and three respectively. Sonoma, Napa, Alameda, Contra Costa,
San Francisco and Santa Cruz counties all made it to the top 20 of
nearly 60 counties, the report shows. Lake, Modoc and Alpine counties occupy the last three slots.
Despite
the rosy news for many Bay
Area counties, researchers found a dark cloud hanging over California.

old. .... ages of 16 and 24 are not in school, and don’t have jobs." Read more.
