Winneshiek County, Iowa
> Pct. without health insurance: 9.7%

> Pct. food insecure: 10.9%

> Obesity rate: 25.2%

> 2013 unemployment rate: 4.5%

Social inclusion can often help people feel less depressed and handle stress more effectively. Such was likely the case in Winneshiek County, where there were more than twice as many membership associations per 100,000 residents as across the country. Additionally, just 9.7% of residents did not have health insurance, in line with the state's rate of 9.9% but lower than the national rate of 17%.
 
As a country we are in trouble. The average obesity rates for the healthiest counties across the country is a solid 20+%.
