Marin Ranked Healthiest County; Work Remains for Wellness Inequities
The health of Marin County’s residents is best in the state according to the recently released 2021 County Health Rankings & Roadmaps report. The rankings, produced annually by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, confirm the critical role that factors such as education, jobs, income, and environment play in how healthy people are and what will impact their health and longevity in the future.
In the new rankings, Marin was No. 1 in health factors and health outcomes among California’s 58 counties. It was the 11th time in 12 years that Marin as been ranked No. 1. Marin continues to be a top performer in the state and country in the categories of length of life, quality of life, and clinical care. It was No. 2 in health behaviors and No. 3 in social and economic factors.
The County Health Rankings & Roadmaps report also reveals that all counties have areas where they can improve. Marin has one of the worst scores in income inequality (53rd out of 58 counties) and received low grades in housing affordability (26th).
“The rankings echo what we’ve seen in the pandemic: as a county, we’re doing well overall, but our weakness is inequities within Marin.” said Dr Matt Willis, County Public Health Officer. “COVID 19 has deepened differences between groups, and those differences fall along lines of race and income. That’s the work ahead of us as a community, through the pandemic and beyond. When all are able to thrive, that will be real cause for celebration.”
