Less Healthy Environments are Associated with a Greater Prevalence of Childhood Obesity. Each point on the scatterplot represents a city within the ten counties investigated in this analysis. The x-axis shows the percentile HPI score, and a higher percentile score indicates a healthier community. The y-axis shows the percentile score of the prevalence of each health outcome relative to each other (i.e., a percentile score of 100 translates to the city with the highest prevalence of adult or childhood obesity). Each point (i.e., city) on the scatterplot is colored based on the percent Latino in each city. A red shading indicates a higher percent Latino compared to a purple shading. Panel A shows the relationship between adults with obesity and HPI score. Panel B shows the relationship between children with obesity and HPI score. 162 cities had available adult obesity data compared to 341 cities with available childhood obesity data
