AARP evaluated 20+ measures of vitality to come up with the ranking including physical aspects of a community (clean air and water), along with the health and habits of people who live there, with special considerations for the health needs of people age 50+. Communities were chosen based on a number criteria including opportunities for exercise, number of doctors in the area, availability of healthcare, diagnosis of health problems, healthy eating habits, and so on. They also evaluated quality of life measures like housing affordability, the local economy, educational resources, crime, climate, recreational amenities, and arts and culture to make their selections. Other areas in the midwest that were included in the top twenty are Madison (WI), Fargo, Minneapolis/St. Paul and St. Cloud. |
