The University of Wisconsin's Population Health Institute looked at more than 30 factors within the state's 58 counties to determine which counties are the most healthy. 

The study looked at gender equity, child care affordability and jobs to help determine the rankings.

Orange and Ventura counties ranked in the top 10 with Orange County coming in sixth place and Ventura County coming in ninth.

Los Angeles County ranked 24th followed by Riverside County at 25. San Bernandino came in 43 out of the 58 counties.

"This year we focused on economic security in particular as we come out of this pandemic and look forward to a just recovery," said Sheri Johnson, Director of the University of Wisconsin's Population Health Institue. 

"We looked at things like child care cost affordability, the gender pay gap, the importance of living wage for all of us to be able to thrive and to meet our basic needs with dignity."
