What this measures

Adults who saw a doctor for a routine checkup in the past year. Neither end is better: more checkups can mean better access to care or more illness. Source: .

For most measures, a national ranking mostly sorts places by income and by how urban they are. Each county’s own page compares it with the 50 counties most like it instead, which is often the fairer view.
