The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin’s Population Health Institute have released the 2024 County Health Rankings – a snapshot of the overall health of nearly every county in the nation. For the fourth consecutive year, DuPage County was ranked as the #1 Healthiest County in Illinois.
Every county in the state is ranked on health outcomes (how healthy we are) and health factors (how healthy we can be). The Rankings make it clear that good health is influenced by many factors beyond medical care including housing, education, jobs, access to healthy foods, and more.
