GREENVILLE, N.C. -

Wake County is the healthiest county in North Carolina.

The University of Wisconsin ranked all the counties in our state by looking at the number of people who die before the age of 75.
     
The study found the healthiest counties tend to be clustered around cities.
     
Martin, Bertie and Lenoir counties rank in the bottom 10. But Columbus County takes the cake as the most unhealthy county in the state.
