Then they apparently scrubbed it during the re-air of his show.

Fox "news" appears to be in a small amount of damage control after Dan Bongino aired a wildly inaccurate graphic of the supposed "top ten most unhealthy U.S. cities" on his show Saturday night. As Mediaite reported, there's just one problem with that graphic.
According to WalletHub - the source that Unfiltered cited in its graphic - the 10 cities featured in the graphic are actually the "healthiest places to live in the U.S." That is literally the opposite of "most unhealthy."
Well, nine of the cities, anyway. Apparently, the Bongino and his production crew took Irvine, CA to mean Irving, TX, which made its way into the hilariously inaccurate graphic.
And then they scrubbed it from the reair:
In a later airing of Unfiltered, the map graphic did not appear. In its place, Fox News ran B-roll footage of homeless people instead.
That also appears to be the only segment they didn't post on his show's page at Fox. Don't expect any repercussions for Bingo Bongo, or for them to stop fearmongering over Democratic cities supposedly being some third world hellhole that no one wants to live in. The lying is a feature and not a bug on Fox.

now standard operating procedure for FOX, the republican propaganda network and trumpster shopping channel...
Democrat bi coastal and great lakes big cities are Americas hell holes.
OMG what a shitshow. These people are so enthusiastic about hating on their political opposition that they don’t even care about facts.
TBH that sounds like most main-stream media these days.
Too true. Tomorrow, it will be some other overly obsessed talking head on some other network.
They made a mistake and took it down. The humanity!
Imagine getting upset by this and overlooking the CNN/Coumo debacle
The go-to response when liberal outlets have made mistakes is that they made an error then corrected it.
I guess that only works for liberals.
Is Cuomo still at CNN?
Stupid anyway. What, is he trying to be Buzzfeed?
I googled most unhealthy cities and all the results had different answers.
Memphis and Jacksonville popped up several times though.
