The social and economic factors category represents the broader impact that society and the economy have on an individual or community’s ability to make healthy choices. Measures include poverty, college graduates and food insecurity. This category is one of five categories of measures that make up the America’s Health Rankings model. The other four categories are behaviors, physical environment, clinical care and health outcomes.
Current Reports
America’s Health Rankings builds on the work of the United Health Foundation to draw attention to public health and better understand the health of various populations. Our platform provides relevant information that policymakers, public health officials, advocates and leaders can use to effect change in their communities.
We have developed detailed analyses on the health of key populations in the country, including women and children, seniors and those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, in addition to a deep dive into health disparities across the country.
