Call it another check against the region.
Self magazine, in its recently released edition, has ranked the Gary metropolitan area, which includes about 650,000 people living in Lake, Porter, Jasper and Newton counties, the unhealthiest place to live in the country.
The region ranked dead last of the nation’s 100 largest metropolitan areas in the article, entitled “America’s Healthiest Places for Women.” The healthiest place in the ranking was San Francisco.
Detroit, Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio, also made the “unhealthiest five” cut.

Looking at Self Magazine’s online healthiest cities reports, it is interesting to see that Gary/Northwest Indiana beat Indianapolis in the rankings, coming in at 91/100 to Indy’s 96/100.
