Website: Wichita is the laziest city in Kansas

Wichita is the laziest city in Kansas, according to an online news and opinion site called 24/7 Wall St., but only by a hair.

The site ranked laziness by the number of residents who reported they engage in physical activity in their leisure time.

Three-fourths of Wichitans reported they exercise in their leisure time, according to the website.

But Wichita’s exercise rate is less than 1 percent below the state’s rate.

24/7 Wall St. says it used data from the County Health Rankings & Roadmaps from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute.

The website also compared exercise with the number of people who have bachelor’s degrees and with the population’s obesity rate.

Less than a third of Wichitans have a bachelor’s degree, the second-lowest number in the state, according to the site. Higher education is often tied to more physical activity.

The site used data from the greater Wichita area, or the statistical metropolitan area, so it stretches beyond the city limits.

But even though Wichita didn’t rank well in Kansas, the city still sits slightly above the rest of the national laziness average, according to the site.
