Top 100 U.S. Cities Ranked for Seasonal Pollen Allergies
US · Published May 20, 2026
The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) has released its annual 'Allergy Capitals' report, ranking the top 100 U.S.
cities based on the challenges of living with seasonal allergies.
The rankings are determined by factors such as pollen counts, availability of allergists, and medication usage.

Why It's Important?

Residents in cities ranked higher on the list may face more severe seasonal allergy symptoms, including nasal congestion, itchy eyes, and respiratory discomfort. The availability of allergists and access to treatment options can vary significantly between cities, potentially impacting the quality of life for allergy sufferers. While the report provides a comparative ranking, it emphasizes that individuals in any city may still experience significant allergy-related issues depending on local conditions and personal sensitivities.
