South Dakota – 31.9% Obesity Rate
Around 29.6% of those living in South Dakota were obese in 2016. The number increased to 31.9 percent three years later. This figure meant it was now going to be part of our unfortunate list. Unfortunately, the following individuals tend to suffer from high rates of obesity: American Indians, individuals with only a GED or high school diploma, and those with an annual income of anywhere from $25,000 to $34,999. It is sad to hear that Native American reservations are seeing the nation’s highest rates of obesity.

Wisconsin – 32% Obesity Rate
When your state is known for cheese, it sounds impossible to remain off this list. This may have something to do with Wisconsin being included on the list! The good news is that among children, it has a pretty low obesity rate. The School of Public Health at the University of Wisconsin used zip codes in a study in the hope of combating obesity. Certain areas are said to be four times more likely to be overweight!
