The study cited several reasons for San Francisco's title: Only 18% of San Francisco's population is classified as obese, the second-lowest percentage in the country. Additionally, due to the city's green spaces and parks, 100% of the population live close to somewhere they can partake in physical activity. The city's infrastructure also makes it one of the most walkable and bikeable cities.
