諸多因素加持之下,,加利福尼亞州的伯克利登上了Niche網站“2025年美國最健康城市”排行榜榜首,。以下詳細介紹這座加州北部城市的特色。
理想的氣候
伯克利的天氣不太熱也不太冷,。夏季最高氣溫大概在21℃到26℃左右,,最低氣溫10℃到15℃左右,而冬季最高氣溫15℃到20℃左右,,最低氣溫也就4℃到9℃左右,。
伯克利的大晴天遠比下雨多。每年平均有256個晴天,,只有67個雨天,,而美國其他地區(qū)的平均晴天為205天,雨天106天。由于陽光明媚又溫度適宜的日子很多,,住在伯克利比起其他城市,,出門活動的機會更多。
豐富的公園和綠地
住在伯克利出門非常方便,,有50多座公園還有幾十處綠地,,包括自然保護區(qū)、野生動物棲息地和城市公園等,,對整體心理健康作用非常大,。一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn),如果住處周圍綠地豐富,,精神困擾,、焦慮和抑郁情緒更少,皮質醇水平較低,,生病的幾率也會減小,。
伯克利充分利用公園多的優(yōu)勢組織了多個成人體育聯(lián)盟,比如壘球和排球聯(lián)賽,,如果更喜歡玩匹克球也可以預訂場地,。當地跑步俱樂部會員已近5000名,而且歡迎各種體能水平和能力的跑者加入,。要是喜歡跑步,,不管是初跑者還是經驗豐富的老手都可以參與其中。
健康食品方便購買
根據美國少數族裔健康和健康差異研究所的研究,,如果生活在“食品荒漠”地區(qū),,也就是價格親民且營養(yǎng)豐富食品比較匱乏的地方,人們更患多種慢性疾病的風險更高,,包括糖尿病,、肥胖癥、心臟病和心理健康問題等,。
伯克利的居民就幸福多了,,有多個健康食品店和農貿市場可選。當地還有個叫“伯克利食品網絡”的非營利組織,,專門向弱勢群體社區(qū)提供健康食品,。
年輕人和家庭的福利
社區(qū)是健康生活的核心,讓家人感覺有機會蓬勃發(fā)展也同樣重要,。伯克利不僅登上了Niche網站“美國最健康城市”榜單榜首,,在“最適合年輕專業(yè)人士的城市”榜單中也位列第七。該榜單主要根據千禧一代居民數量,、就業(yè)機會,、房價友好程度以及娛樂設施等因素評定,。
此外,伯克利收入中位數達108,558美元,,比全美家庭收入中位數80,610美元高出逾25%,。伯克利的公立教育體系非常出色,還有眾多適合家庭參與的活動,,比如夏令營和休閑體育聯(lián)賽等等,。(財富中文網)

What makes a city the healthiest in America? Health is determined by many environmental factors—not just your personal habits. Moderate weather encourages you to get outside, while plenty of parks and recreational opportunities make it easier to be physically active. Access to healthy food options lowers the barrier to nutritious eating, and a bustling social scene helps you build community—whether you’re a single young adult or raising a family.
Each of these factors is what boosted Berkeley, Calif. to the top of Niche’s list of 2025 healthiest places in America. Read more about what this Northern California city has to offer.
Desirable climate
It’s never too hot or cold in Berkeley. The summer only reaches highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s, while the winter highs are in the 60s and lows only get down to the 40s.
You’re also likely to see more sunshine than rain in Berkeley. It averages 256 sunny days per year and only 67 rainy days, while the rest of the U.S. averages 205 sunny days and 106 rainy days. With more sunny, temperate days, residents of Berkeley are likely to get out and move more than in other cities.
Plentiful parks and green spaces
Getting outside in Berkeley is made easy by the city’s more than 50 parks and dozens of green spaces—including nature reserves, wildlife environments and urban parks—which play a pivotal role in overall mental well-being. One study found that living in an area with plentiful green space is associated with less mental distress, anxiety, and depression, lower cortisol levels, and lower prevalence of disease.
Berkeley also hosts several adult sports leagues to make the most of those parks, including softball and volleyball—or you can reserve a pickleball court if that’s more your speed. For runners—beginner or experienced—the local Berkeley Run Club already has nearly 5,000 members and is welcoming people of all fitness levels and abilities.
Access to healthy food
Living in a food desert, or an area lacking access to affordable and nutritious food, can place people at greater risk of multiple chronic health conditions, including diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and mental health conditions according to the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities.
Residents of Berkeley, however, have several health food stores and farmer’s markets available to them. The city is also home to the Berkeley Food Network, a local nonprofit that works to bring healthy food to the most disenfranchised communities across Berkeley.
Perks for young professionals and families
Community is a core part of healthy living, and so is feeling like you and your family have a place you can flourish. Not only was Berkeley at the top of Niche’s healthiest cities list, but it also claimed the no. 7 spot on its list of Best Cities for Young Professionals, which was based on the number of millennial residents and access to jobs, affordable housing, and entertainment.
Additionally, Berkeley received top marks for its high median income of $108,558—over 25% more than the national median household income of $80,610. And families will find highly-rated public schools and numerous family-friendly activities, including camps and recreational sports leagues.
