AFREAK DATA
What people who took the tests actually reported. Ours, not anybody else's.
AFREAKNo results yet. Nothing invented.Each layer unlocks on its own count. A city with 500 Freak Tests and 12 astrology tests is not an astrology ranking.
TAKE THE FREAK TEST →Thresholds are per layer on purpose: 100 Freak Tests for a score or a Freak Type breakdown, 150 for the six dimensions because that is six numbers rather than one, and 50 of a given topical test for its own ranking. Nothing here is estimated, modelled or borrowed from a public dataset.
EVERY CITY ON THE MAP
Where these numbers come from
PLACES: Local Data for Better Health, Place Data, 2025 release, published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The underlying survey is the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), model-based small area estimates, and the figures are crude prevalence estimates for adults aged 18 and older. Retrieved 2026-08-25.
We use crude prevalence rather than age-adjusted, because a page saying "39% of adults here sleep under seven hours" should be stating something true about the adults who actually live there. Cities are included at 100,000 people and up, and only when all 4 measures are available.
PLACES publishes measures we deliberately do not map: food insecurity, housing insecurity, depression, disability. Those are real and they are not a leaderboard.
