Score
Physical Activity
Lower county physical inactivity prevalence scores higher, with active-living access handled separately.
Higher values rank better for this score.
How It's Calculated
The latest published score is normalized to a 0-100 scale. The method below explains what the score rewards, with technical source metadata available for audit.
How the ranking is built
Physical Activity rewards counties where fewer adults report no leisure-time physical activity.
- 1
Physical inactivity prevalence is inverse percentile-ranked over the scored locations.
- 2
Lower inactivity scores higher, using the full observed distribution without p5/p95 clipping.
- 3
State or national fallback values are used when county values are unavailable.

Source Data
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.
