A recent list from the University of Wisconsin ranks the healthiest counties in Texas.

The assistant director of the Wichita Falls-Wichita County Public Health District, Amy Fagan, said the data can be used as a way to see what the department can do to make the county healthier.

“We can compare ourselves to comparable counties like Waco or Lubbock,” said Fagan.  “We can go in and look at the numbers at the number one or number two counties.”

Wichita County is in the bottom 10%, coming in at 193 out of 242, a decline from last year. Other North Texas counties were ranked higher. More details can be found here.
