Known Limits

  • These are county-level public-health and built-environment proxies, not individual medical advice or a guarantee of personal outcomes.
  • County Health Rankings modeled prevalence values can miss neighborhood variation, subpopulations, local grocery prices, exact diet quality, and clinical care quality.
  • Active Living Environment reuses published walkability, bike/pedestrian commute, park, and trail scores because the March 25, 2026 supplemental file does not include the exercise-opportunity field locally.
  • Use this alongside affordability, climate, healthcare, safety, and recreation preferences rather than as a standalone health prediction.
