Health Status
The number of people from a county admitted to alcohol/substance abuse treatment centers anywhere in the state, expressed as a rate per 10,000 residents.
The percentage of people under 65 who are not covered by some form of health insurance, including public programs such as Medicaid and Medicare.
The percentage of adults 18 and over with a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 25, based on a national survey of residents. The index is a statistical measurement which compares a person's weight and height. It does not measure body fat but is a useful estimate of a healthy body weight based on a person’s height. A person with a BMI between 25 and 30 is considered overweight, and those over 30 are considered obese.
