Top 25 Cities in The USA For Staying Young and Top 25 for Aging Too Fast

"Are you and your neighbors doing what it takes to put your city on the top cities list for either staying young or growing old too fast? We analyzed 2011 data for America's 50 largest metropolitan areas generated by our patented RealAge Test to determine the Youngest & Oldest Cities in America rankings. Factors such as cholesterol, smoking, marital status, eating habits, stress, employment, social life, and alcohol were all part of the equation. See if your city is one of the best places for healthy living or one of the worst."

19. Atlanta, GA
Birthplace of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the civil rights movement, Atlanta boasts a tumultuous past, which might explain the city's current spirit of optimism and low rates of anger and stress. This trifecta of healthy mind-and-mood factors helped rank Atlanta the 19th youngest city in America. If the population could just lower its rates of diabetes and inflammation, they may nudge their way up on next year's list.






19th holy crap... This place is as if Death rode in on a horse, pissed all over it and rode away saying yeah, eff that place, nothing I can do there - not worth my time...

I lived in the Ritz Carlton Hotel for 9 months in Buckhead. Atlanta rocked.

I loved Atlanta when I went to school there back in the early 90's. Great town, filled with fun people and an interesting and varied cultural and social scene. I visited recently however....and it's gone waaaaaaaay downhill. Congested, ugly, depressing, and full of broke drunk people. No night life except crappy bars and police were everywhere constantly, was like living in occupied war zone. WTF?

I live fairly close to Knoxville and it doesn't surprise me it is the worst city for health. Haven't seen so many fat, drunk, smoking, belligerent red necks...since last time I visited Disney World.

Knoxville, TN
It's a hard knock life for Knoxville, TN, which is in the bottom spot no thanks to high rates of drinking, smoking, stress, unemployment, low income, and -- not surprisingly -- the least amount of optimism. When money is tight, an inexpensive hike in the Great Smoky Mountains or a visit to the Market Square Farmer's Market could do wonders. “You can be just as healthy in Knoxville as you can in Denver," says Dr. Roach. "ou just have to work a little harder at it."

I stayed in that exact hotel when I used to visit here in the range of 10-15 years ago...


I am guessing you haven't been here in 10-15 years...

It's BS that DC is being lumped with Baltimore.
