Sadly, southwest VA scores low:

Report: Fairfax is Virginia

Here's the complete list:
http://www.countyhealthrankings.org/...verall/by-rank

Roanoke is #39, Roanoke City is #116, Salem is #60
Dont know why such huge difference even though they are located so closeby.

A lot has to do with education level and average salaries.

Look at the top ten.

Roanoke City has a lot of older people which makes the City rank low, compared to the County or NoVa.
Obesity and Smoking are an epidemic among many young people also.

I think its a "relative" statistics, hugely dependent on ratio. So 10 healthy people out of 100 in Roanoke would be a huge percentage compared to 10 unhealthy people out of 1000 in northern virginia. But still, its good to compare what they are doing right & follow their footsteps.
