Several chronic conditions were higher among women in rural areas compared with their metropolitan counterparts

The 2025 Health of Women and Children Report not only provides a national, comprehensive picture of women and children’s health and well-being, but also sheds light on the distinct challenges faced by specific populations.

This year’s report uses America’s Health Rankings’ depth of data to spotlight rural communities. It finds that women in rural areas had lower rates of excessive drinking, but higher rates of chronic conditions than those living in metropolitan areas.

These differences highlight how geographic location and access to resources can shape health outcomes and underscore the importance of tailored solutions to meet the needs of different populations across the United States.
