  1. This table displays the raw, unadjusted scores for the HPI, SVI, and CES. HPI scores range from − 1.15 to 1.09 and a higher score corresponds to healthier community conditions. The HPI scores for the subset of cities that had data available for adult diabetes, adult obesity, and childhood obesity are included as well as the Percent Latino for the 367 cities with HPI data and the subset of cities with data available on the relevant health outcomes. SVI scores range from 0.017 to 0.99 and a higher SVI score corresponds to a less healthy city. Like the SVI, CES scores range from 3.93 to 68.52 and higher scores correspond to less healthy cities
