Posted on June 21, 2008. Filed under: Fitness News |

At rentBits.com, we search the net for available houses for rent, homes for rent and apartments for rent in the United States.

While searching for rentals in Denver to Sacramento to Dallas, we wanted to see what the healthiest cities in the US are and if there is a correlation between rental prices and the health of cities. Question: Are rents in healthier cities higher than cities that are fat? Lets take a look:

The top 10 Healthiest Cities in the United States:

  1. San Jose, Ca – average rental price – $2006
  2. Washington, DC – average rental price – $2056
  3. San Francisco – average rental price – $2399
  4. Seattle – average rental price – $1658
  5. Salt Lake City – average rental price – $1146
  6. Oakland – average rental price – $2186
  7. Sacramento – average rental price – $1187
  8. Orange County, Ca – average rental price – $2455
  9. Denver – average rental price – $1127
  10. Austin – average rental price – $1174

The Top 10 Fattest Cities in the United States

  1. Detroit – average rental price – $836
  2. Houston – average rental price – $1393
  3. Dallas – average rental price – $1664
  4. San Antonio – average rental price – $850
  5. Chicago – average rental price – $1839
  6. Fort Worth – average rental price – $1177
  7. Philadelphia – average rental price – $1377
  8. Arlington, Texas – average rental price – $1107
  9. Cleveland, Ohio – average rental price -$849
  10. Columbus, Ohio -average rental price – $901

It does seem that the rent in healthier cities are higher than fatter cities. Fatter cities tend to be in colder areas of the united states and are highly concentrated in Texas. Texas has 5 of the top 10 fattest cities.

Healthier cities tend to be in highly populated areas where, for the most part, the weather is warm. Usually, where there are more people, there tends to be higher rent.

Conclusion, rents are higher in the healthier cities but this is most likely due to demand and supply.
