The County has been ranked as one of the top two healthiest Colorado Counties since 2011 and has held the No. Douglas County residents rank highest in length of life and have the highest quality of life.
The findings specific to Douglas County, are based on data collected between 20.

The rankings are a snapshot of how health is influenced by where we live, learn, work, and play. The annual rankings measure health outcomes – the current health of a county and health factors – those changes that could be made to improve lifespan and quality of life for residents.
