Access to Exercise Opportunities

State: Hawaii
Measurement Period: 2024
This indicator measures the percentage of individuals who live reasonably close to a park or recreational facility.

Why is this important?

Proximity to exercise opportunities, such as parks and recreation facilities, has been linked to an increase in physical activity among residents. Regular physical activity has a wide array of health benefits including weight control, muscle and bone strengthening, improved mental health and mood, and improved life expectancy. Furthermore, exercise reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, and some cancers.

Change in methodology for 2018:
Standard Industry Classification (SIC) 8-digit codes are no longer available. To replace these more generic 6-digit SIC codes were used to identify recreational facilities. In addition, YMCA of the USA provided CHR a complete list of facilities and services offered for them to better identify Y’s.
Change in methodology for 2023:
In 2023, County Health Rankings switched from using 2010 census blocks and population counts to 2020 census blocks and population counts and used the new 2020 Census Urban Areas to assign urban/rural status to recreational facilities and YMCAs.
