What this measures

Adults who needed to see a doctor in the past year but did not, because the cost stopped them. People report this themselves, so it records what they said held them back. 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.
