Unshaded: Tennessee did not collect enough survey responses in 2024 to meet CDC's minimum for the public BRFSS data set, so there is no 2024 state estimate to rank.
States: BRFSS Prevalence Data (2011 to present). Cities: PLACES: Local Data for Better Health, Place Data, 2025 release. Two different datasets, never mixed inside one number.

😈 AFREAK data our own layers, locked until real results exist
AFREAK OUR OWN DATA

Locked until a city has 100 finished results. We are not going to rank Portland on four people.
AFREAK DATA
What people who took the tests actually reported. Ours, not anybody else's.
AFREAKNo results yet. Nothing invented.EVERY CITY NEEDS 100 FREAK TESTS
Each layer unlocks on its own count. A city with 500 Freak Tests and 12 astrology tests is not an astrology ranking.

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.

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 2026-09-17.
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.
