Well, a "couple thousand" out of 114,000+ is part of the reason for the low rankings. Low activity levels, overall (not everyone who lives here is active), high obesity, heart disease and excessive alcohol consumption, high median sales price for homes, lack of inexpensive mass transit - and on and on - are all factors considered. Remember, it's an AVERAGE, weighted against other places. Perhaps if they only compared "Florida Retirement Communities" to TV, it would rank very high?
