> Poverty rate: 15.8% (20th highest) > Unemployment rate: 4.9% (22nd lowest) > Obesity rate: 32.6% (8th highest) > Pct. of adults with at least a bachelor’s degree: 26.6% (15th lowest)
Individuals in low income and poor well-being states are actually among the least likely Americans to report a binge drinking habit. In Ohio, however, 18% of adults drink excessively on a regular basis, higher than the national share of 16%.
Unlike many low well-being states, Ohio has an above-average ratio of primary care physicians relative to the population, at 130 per 100,000 people. Despite the relatively strong access to health services, however, Ohioans still report some of the nation’s worst health outcomes, which are likely major drivers of the low reported well-being in the state. The state ranks in the worst 10 for heart attacks, diabetes diagnoses, cancer deaths, and infant mortality.
