How healthy is the United States?

A count sent in by the states. A child with no papers is counted as not vaccinated. The vaccine also covers mumps and rubella.

The agency gives no figure for Kansas, and has no row for Montana.

Dooram leads with the country's own count. The worldwide estimate is the one its grade uses, because it is made the same way for every country.

People's own answers to one survey, asked in their homes. The question asks about:

“a wellness visit, physical, or general purpose check-up”

All three bars come from that one survey and that one question, so they can be set side by side.

Blood pressure was measured in a national survey that examines a sample of adults aged 18 and over, from August 2021 to August 2023. 47.7 in 100 had high blood pressure.

High means 130 over 80 or more, or taking medicine for it. Knowing means having been told so by a doctor or health worker.

The two figures in the cross-check are not the same measure. The worldwide one is an estimate made the same way for every country; the country's own is a measurement. Dooram leads with the country's own.

The diabetes figure is the agency's estimate, not a count.

The agency's estimate of everything spent on health in the calendar year. The shares are Dooram's division of the agency's amounts; its own rounded shares agree.

Who is covered: in 2025, 53.5 in 100 people had insurance through an employer, 20.1 in 100 had Medicare and 17.1 in 100 Medicaid; a person can have more than one.

People in every 100 who provided their own water in 2015, nearly all of it from the ground.

The agency counts community water systems, about 50,000 of them, in its year from October 2024 to September 2025. A health standard is a limit on a contaminant or a disinfectant, or a treatment rule. The report gives no formula.

The two figures in the cross-check measure different things: one counts water systems, the other people. Dooram leads with the country's own.

The well study is the one large federal test found. About 2,100 wells were sampled; the 23 in 100 is of the 1,389 in which every contaminant was measured. It is not a figure for today.

The agency's own page puts people on private wells at over 43 million, from an older count for the year 2000.

The limit of 9 was set in February 2024 and stands in the agency's own table of standards.

By the agency's own account, of 2 October 2026: it told a court in November 2025 that the 2024 limit was unlawful and asked for it to be cancelled; the court refused; states and industry have asked the Supreme Court to review it.

This is the agency's account of a case it is a party to. Dooram has not read the court's own papers.

Half of the 1,032 monitoring sites measured more than 7.2 in 2025 and half less. It is the middle site, not an average for the country, and it is not weighted by where people live.

At sites that have measured for many years the middle was 7.4. In 2023 the middle of all sites was 8.4.

The county figures are three-year values. The agency says its county file is not a ruling on which places break the limit.

The worldwide estimate comes from a model of the whole country, which is why it differs. Dooram leads with what was measured.
