CDC adult obesity prevalence maps updated
CDC · Guidance
If you live in the U.S., these maps show the share of adults with obesity in 2025. Obesity is based on body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, using self-reported height and weight.
The CDC reports differences by location, age, education level, and race and ethnicity. For example, the Midwest and South had the highest prevalence, and college graduates had the lowest.
You can use these maps to understand what health conditions are common where you live and in groups you belong to, and to guide prevention and treatment conversations with your health care team.
