All data are reported as close to real-time as possible, and, thus, are subject to retroactive changes due to new information, updates, ongoing investigations, and ongoing collection and confirmation of data. For all metrics, data will be updated retroactively to maintain the most accurate information. Current Value is determined based on the most recent available percent change (QOQ and YOY) and context of the overall data set, which must be considered on a per metric basis to determine status. OK Current Rank is based on most recent Oklahoma data available compared to the most recent U.S. state ranking data available; in some cases, these datasets may be from two different time periods - all ranks are best estimates based on available data and subject to change as new data becomes available.

Business Birth and Death Rate: A quarterly statistic tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) at the state level, measuring the number of new business establishments created (births) and the number that close (deaths).

Childhood Obesity: Childhood Obesity is measured using The National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH) statistics. The NSCH collects information on the health of children in the United States who are 0-17 years old. Parents or caregivers are asked to report their child’s height and weight, which can be used to calculate body-mass index (BMI) for children 10-17 years. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says children are considered overweight with a BMI in the 85th percentile to 95th percentile, and obese with a BMI at or above the 95th percentile. These conditions are the result of a caloric imbalance occurring when too few calories are expended based on the amount of calories consumed, and can be affected by genetic, behavioral and/or environmental factors.
