It’s no secret that a lot of people in the country are overweight. In fact, reports suggest that 40% of the U.S. population aged 15 and older is obese. And while there are overweight folks everywhere, there are some cities where more of the population is considered “fat,” and a new report reveals which ones they are. Surprisingly, this South Carolina city made the list.
Top Ten Fattest Cities In The Country
- McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX
- Shreveport-Bossier City, LA
- Memphis, TN-MS-AR
- Jackson, MS
- Knoxville, TN
- Tulsa, OK
- Mobile, AL
- Nashville-Davidson–Murfreesboro–Franklin, TN
- Columbia, SC
- Lafayette, LA
As for the city with the least amount of overweight people, that honor goes to the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, California area, which is dead last for health consequences and in the bottom ten for both food and fitness, and obesity and overweight indicators.
