Wisconsin within the United States. Boundaries: US Census Bureau.

These are model-based estimates, not measurements. CDC PLACES applies a statistical model to national survey responses and Census population data to estimate what share of an area's adults report each condition or behaviour. CDC: "We do not produce estimates for individuals; only aggregated results for counties, places, census tracts, or ZCTAs."

CDC on comparisons: "It is not adequate to simply compare point estimates. The confidence intervals should also be considered, and some are very broad." This site says higher or lower only when two 95% confidence intervals do not overlap, and similar when they do. CDC also advises that the data "should not be used for ranking the overall health of any county, place, census tract, or ZCTA" and that the model "cannot detect effects due to local interventions".

Wisconsin has 72 counties or equivalents, 796 places and 770 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas with PLACES estimates, covering 5,910,955 residents (4,661,826 adults).

PLACES does not publish state totals. The state figures here are population-weighted county estimates computed by this site, following CDC's published method for aggregating areas, and carry no interval. For the 2025 release that gives obesity at 37.7% (site aggregate) (age-adjusted 37.9%), above the national interval around 32.8%; county estimates range from 30.0% to 46.0%.

Diagnosed diabetes is 11.4% (site aggregate) by the same method (national 12.0%) and 8.0% (site aggregate) of adults aged 18–64 are estimated to lack health insurance (national 11.0%).

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."

State figures are population-weighted county estimates computed by this site and carry no interval, so the dot is a point and the US flag says whether the state figure falls above, below or within CDC's national 95% interval. Each measure links to its national and state tables.

Questions and answers

How is the Wisconsin figure calculated?

PLACES publishes county, place, tract and ZCTA estimates but no state row. Following CDC's guidance for aggregating areas, this site multiplies each county's estimate by its adult population, sums across the state's 72 counties and divides by the total adult population. The result has no published confidence interval, so county pages describe their position against it as above, below or in line with the state figure.

Which Wisconsin counties have the highest obesity estimates?

The county table on this page can be sorted by any of the 40 measures. Estimates are listed with their 95% confidence intervals; adjacent counties often have overlapping intervals and cannot be told apart, so the order is by point estimate only and is not a ranking of health.

What is the difference between crude and age-adjusted figures?

Crude prevalence is the estimated share of all adults. Age-adjusted prevalence re-weights the estimate to the 2000 US standard population so areas with different age structures can be compared; CDC publishes age-adjusted figures for counties and places only. The toggle on this page switches between them.

Where does this data come from?

CDC PLACES: Local Data for Better Health, 2025 release, data updated 4 Dec 2025; the state figure for obesity is 37.7% (site aggregate) in the 2025 release.

Boundaries and ZIP-to-county relationships: US Census Bureau. Percentages are shown to one decimal as CDC publishes them; state figures are population-weighted means computed by this site. The Wisconsin figure for each measure is the sum over counties of estimate × adult population, divided by the state's adult population, per CDC's guidance for aggregating areas; measures defined on a subgroup (women 50–74, adults 18–64, adults 65 and over) are weighted by total adult population as an approximation.
