Can’t speak on Chicago but Madison has a lot of very active residents. There are a lot of popular bike paths, parks, and walking trails throughout it. They also have UW and Epic and are small enough for that they have a meaningful influence in making the population skew younger. So it makes sense that its population would generally be healthier than other cities’. There is a lot more alcoholism though.
