States ranking for best health and healthcare for senior adults in the U.S. in 2025
In 2025, across all states in the United States, Vermont was ranked as the healthiest state for older adults aged 65 years and above, followed by Colorado and Washington. On the other hand, Mississippi was the unhealthiest state for older adults in the United States, ranking last on the list. The U.S. state rankings for senior citizens were created using ** metrics from five different areas of health—social and economic issues, environmental factors, behavioral factors, clinical treatment, and health outcomes.
