America's next great city receives "worst environment" award

Self Magazine is out with its sixth annual America's Healthiest Places for Women list in its December issue, and - as usual - Philly didn't fare so hot.

Overall, the city placed 88th out of 100 ranked metro areas. Last year, Philly was 100th out of 200.

Self staff evaluates 49 factors, including body-mass index, heart disease and smoking rates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, environmental statistics from the Environmental Protection Agency, and crime figures from the FBI.
