The 2021 Adult Obesity Prevalence Maps for 49 states, the District of Columbia, and 3 U.S. territories show self-reported adult obesity prevalence by race, ethnicity, and location. The data comes from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, an on-going state-based, telephone interview survey conducted by and state health departments.
The 2021 maps show that obesity impacts some groups more than others. There are notable differences by race and ethnicity, as shown by combined data from 2019–2021:
Adults with obesity are at increased risk for many other serious health conditions such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, some cancers, and poorer mental health. Some studies have indicated that the health risks associated with obesity may occur at a lower body mass index (BMI) for some people of Asian descent. Individuals should talk regularly with their healthcare provider about their body mass index, family history of chronic disease, current lifestyle, and health risks.

For adults 20 years old and older, BMI is interpreted using standard weight status categories. These categories are the same for men and women of all body types and ages.
We encourage the use of person-first language (e.g., “adults with obesity” or “20% of children ages 12–19 have obesity” and not “obese adults” nor “20% of children are obese”) when discussing topics like obesity and other chronic diseases, as well as respectful images.

Mapping U.s. Obesity Rates At The County Level
Model-based population-level analysis and community estimates on obesity and other chronic disease factors for counties, census tracts, and ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) across the United States.
This interactive database provides national and state-level data about the health status and behaviors of Americans as well as environmental or policy supports. Categories include breastfeeding, fruits and vegetables, physical activity, sugary drinks, television watching, and obesity/weight.
*The historical maps cannot be compared to maps from 2011-2021 and maps from 2019-2021 because data analysis methodology changed in 2011. Like all public health surveillance systems, BRFSSmust occasionally change its methods to adapt to the changing world and to maintain validity.
