The social and economic factors category represents the broader impact that society and the economy have on an individual or community’s ability to make healthy choices. Measures include poverty, college graduates and food insecurity. This category is one of five categories of measures that make up the America’s Health Rankings model. The other four categories are behaviors, physical environment, clinical care and health outcomes.
