Ranking: Indiana is 35th this year, unchanged from 2008.
Strengths: Strengths include a low rate of uninsured population at 11.9 percent, a low incidence of infectious disease at 8.9 cases per 100,000 population and low geographic disparity within the state at 8.5 percent.
Challenges: Challenges include a high prevalence of smoking at 26.0 percent of the population (the same rate as in 1999), high levels of air pollution at 13.2 micrograms of fine particulate per cubic meter, low public health funding at $36 per person and a high percentage of children in poverty at 23.3 percent of persons under age 18. Indiana ranks lower for determinants than for health outcomes, indicating that overall healthiness may decline over time.
