(Poughkeepsie, NY) — Poughkeepsie does not fare well when it comes to allergies and asthma. That’s according to a new report from Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America which looked at the 100 largest metro areas in the U.S. and ranked them by how challenging they are to live when you have asthma. Poughkeepsie was 19th most challenging. Rochester came in 2nd and Albany is listed as 8th.
Detroit, Michigan ranks number one when it comes to challenging places to live with asthma.. Rochester, New York came in second followed by Allentown, Pennsylvania and then Philadelphia. The report used asthma rates, asthma emergency room visits, and asthma related deaths to compile the rankings. More than 28-million Americans have asthma.
