I saw that US News and CVS teamed up to put out the healthiest counties in the United States list. I got curious about whether any Nebraska counties are on the list because Lincoln often does well on these kind of things. They ranked Hamilton County at 24th. Hamilton County had its best score in “Community Vitality”. It also did well in “Equity” and “Housing”. Their lowest score was “Environment”.

If you want to check your own county, you can CLICK HERE to do it at their website. I checked Lancaster County. We ended up in 262nd place. Our best score is “Infrastructure” with 100 out of 100 points. Everything else is down the middle of the road like “Housing” with a 54 out of 100.
