11 Worst Cities for People with Asthma in America

11. Indianapolis, IN

Unfortunately for all those living and working in Indianapolis, things aren’t all that great if you have respiratory problems, especially asthma. The city doesn’t sit very well when it comes to self-reported asthma prevalence or when it comes to the annual pollen score. The poverty rate is also a bit high, and the uninsured rate is quite disheartening, which means many people are left without proper care, including those suffering from asthma. The scores the city received for medical factors aren’t that much better. In fact, the scores it receives indicates that it has plenty of ER visits from people with asthma.
