Report card: 40 measures by CDC category
Crude prevalence is the estimated share of all adults. Age-adjusted prevalence is standardised to the 2000 US standard population so that areas with different age structures can be compared. CDC: "Age-adjusted estimates are only available at the county and place-level."

Estimates by release
What each PLACES release published for Sequoyah County (crude prevalence with 95% interval). CDC advises that the estimates cannot be used to track local change over time: each release re-models a different survey year onto a fixed population, intervals usually overlap and the interval method changed in 2023.

Questions and answers
What share of adults in Sequoyah County have obesity, according to PLACES?
PLACES estimates 47.1% (95% confidence interval 39.6–55.0%) in the 2025 release, based on 2023 BRFSS responses modelled onto the area's adult population. It is a modelled estimate for the whole adult population of the area, not a count of diagnoses.
How common is diagnosed diabetes in Sequoyah County?
PLACES estimates 16.6% of adults (95% confidence interval 14.3–18.8%) in the 2025 release. The national estimate in the same release is 12.0%.
Is Sequoyah County different from Oklahoma on obesity?
The county's whole obesity interval lies above the Oklahoma figure (a population-weighted mean of county estimates computed by this site, which has no published interval).
Can these figures describe a person who lives in Sequoyah County?
No. CDC states: "We do not produce estimates for individuals; only aggregated results for counties, places, census tracts, or ZCTAs." The figures describe the expected prevalence across the area's adult population given its demographic make-up and its county and state; they say nothing about any resident.
Can Sequoyah County be ranked or tracked over time with these figures?
CDC advises that the data "should not be used for ranking the overall health of any county, place, census tract, or ZCTA" and that the modelling procedure "does not support using the estimates to track changes at the local level over time". Areas can be compared on individual measures, with their confidence intervals; this site lists estimates by release for reference only.
Where does this data come from?
CDC PLACES: Local Data for Better Health, 2025 release (data updated 4 Dec 2025), which models Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System responses with Census population and American Community Survey data. Earlier releases (2022, 2023, 2024) are shown for reference. Boundaries and ZIP-to-county relationships are from the US Census Bureau.
