Overview
It shouldn't surprise many that the obesity epidemic in the United States continues to get worse every year. Just how bad has it gotten to this point?
That question inspired me to create the data visualization graphic below which analyzes the United States obesity epidemic rate among adults. The main focus of the graphic is the large wheel chart which lists the average adult obesity rate by state. The data was taken from 2014 to 2019 with one significant statistic presented from each year. Finally, the main takeaways from doing this research are listed at the bottom.
