Self-rated health and cost barriers by state

Adults rating their general health as fair or poor (derived: sum of the published fair and poor shares), as excellent, who could not see a doctor in the past year because of cost, and adults 65+ with a flu shot in the past year. Percent of adults 18 and over (crude prevalence, self-reported) from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System; states only (CDC publishes a median of states rather than a national estimate in this dataset). Tennessee is not published in the 2024 BRFSS state estimates, so it is not shown.
