What this measures

Adults who were told they have asthma and say they still have it. It counts current asthma, not everyone who ever had it. 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.
