Sounds like OKC made it based upon obesity rates which sounds pretty squirrly. Every city in the US has a lot of fat people but that wouldn't be a detriment in my eyes. Maybe just a lot of good cooks. Oh yeah, they also didn't have many dog parks.

Sounds like they’ve got way faulty reasoning. Several of these places could be considered some of the best places to live for various reasons: Miami, Phoenix, las Vegas, LA.....

Lots of good food? Too hot/cold to exercise?That, and a carry-in-supper culture (buffets, too!) like many places in the South.
We lived near OKC for a little over three years, and then moved to Tulsa. It's an agreeable enough place, aside from the weather, with nice people.

El Centro is in the middle of the desert, nearly on the Mexican boarder....
Of course its nasty...
But no where near as bad as El Paso/Juarez area...lol

I really thought you would be much higher. My husband has a friend who used to live in Memphis. This year, he found out his well paying, fun job was relocating to Memphis, and quit. That bad.

The ten best places are, how shall I say this, rather....undiverse.

I’d be more inclined to throw away any city in Upstate NY simply because there are places in Upstate NY that are not willing to help themselves. I say that because of the recent todo about gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale-Broome County has taken drilling off its agenda and I believe the state has too. As a proponent of “drill here, drill now”(drill everywhere), I think that’s pretty short-sighted when exploration/drilling could be a boon for the Upstate economy. But, no, most of what you see from Upstate is “save the mountain”, “go green’, etc from a bunch of green wienies. Let them reap what they sow.

How about this—Readers Digest’s Best Places to Live list said that New York City was the healthiest place to live in the United States. It was ranked #1 because . . . it had more hospitals per capita than any other city!

I have worked in El Centro and spent considerable time in Cleveland. Cleveland would be heaven in comparison to El Centro. The people who made this list have there heads up their asses.

This list is predicated on the fact that nobody was willing to transport the compilers of it into Camden NJ, Buffalo NY, Oakland CA or Washington DC.
Not to mention Centralia PA which is still on fire after almost 50 years...but it’s vacant now.

Used to live in Shawnee and went to OKC often. Lovely city, lovely people, lovely state! I loved it so much that I now live just a few minutes from the OK state border in Fort Smith.
Okay, I didn’t move here because it’s close to Oklahoma, but it’s a bonus!
