I'd look at it from two points of view.

The first is that a community in which the majority of citizens cooperate and support each other is healthy. That is, it's a community that can expect to exist as such for a long time.

The second is that a community in which a significant proportion of its members take advantage of the natural surroundings -- whether by outdoor occupations like farming or building, recreations like gardening or walking, or participation in sport or other physical recreations. It would be somewhere kids were encouraged to play outdoors and where fast food was eaten as an occasional treat rather than as a regular part of their diet.

Hi Jan. Glad you stayed with us.

I think AA was using the * in the way it is used in this little verse.

There was a sweet young thing called Clare Black
Who liked to ride on horses bareback.
But though she dearly loved to frisk
She was a fool her *.

Which you read, "She was a fool her ass to risk."

Was this supposed to be posed to online resources . . Because this would be great for you to actually interview people face to face.

Healthy communities, take their bike or use mass transit to go to work or the store. They support their local organic growers and butchers.

Houses use renewable energy such has solar and wind power in addition to the power grid. Parents are involved in their children's education and community events are encouraged.
