How can Wisconsin receive a health disparity grade of D if it receives a grade similar to or better than over half of the other states?
Because the goal is to eliminate health disparities, the life stage grades for health disparity were graded against an absolute scale of no diparities rather than being graded relative to the performance of other states on health disparities. Since all states are struggling with health disparities, no state currently earns higher than a B for health disparity within any life stage.
