Health Behaviors Ranking
This indicator is archived and is no longer being updated. Click to learn more
This indicator shows the ranking of the county in overall health behaviors according to the County Health Rankings. The ranking is based on a summary composite score calculated from the following measures: adult smoking, adult obesity, physical inactivity, access to exercise opportunities, excessive drinking, alcohol-impaired driving deaths, sexually transmitted infections, teen births, and a food environment index.
Why is this important?
Human behavior contributes strongly to health outcomes. A majority of preventable deaths and illnesses in the United States are directly caused by human behaviors such as smoking, risky sexual behaviors and unhealthful diets. Behavior modification depends on many structural and environmental factors as well as individual motivation and education.
