What this measures
Membership groups per 10,000 people, such as churches, clubs, unions and sports leagues. They are counted from the government's list of businesses and organizations. Source: County Health Rankings.
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.
