State Contextual Factors
State dials of contextual factors related to demographics, health status, and resources are displayed on this page as an aid to interpreting State performance meters. The orange wedge of the dial represents the spread of values across all the reporting States; the black arrow (on top of the orange wedge) represents the State's value. The edge of the orange with the lowest value represents the State with the lowest value. The edge of the orange with the highest value represents the State with the highest value.
