South Dakota – 31.9% Obesity Rate
In 2016, approximately 29.6 percent of those living in South Dakota were obese. Three years later, the number increased to 31.9 percent. This figure meant that our unfortunate list was now going to be part of it. Unfortunately, high rates of obesity appear to affect the following people: American Indians, people with just a GED or high school diploma, and those with an annual income of anywhere from $25,000 to $34,999. It is unfortunate to hear that Native American reservations are seeing the highest obesity rates in the nation.

Wisconsin – 32% Obesity Rate
It seems difficult to keep off this list when your state is famous for cheese. This could have something to do with being placed on the list in Wisconsin! The good news is that it has a pretty low obesity rate among children. In the hope of fighting obesity, the School of Public Health at the University of Wisconsin used zip codes in a report. It is said that some places are four times more likely to be overweight!
