Where are the high-income thin people?

Disability insurers and long-term care insurers with an interest in locating high-income prospects of normal weight might want to try Vermont and the District of Columbia.

Only 19 percent of Vermont residents with income over $75,000 are obese, and just 15 percent of high-income D.C. residents are obese.

More than 30 percent of the high-income people in states like North Dakota, Oklahoma, Arkansas, West Virginia and Louisiana are obese.

Analysts at the United Health Foundation have broken obesity down by state and income level in a collection of colorful, interactive Web-based maps.
