AAFA publishes this report to show the nationwide burden of asthma. It is a call to action to help the nearly 28 million people in the U.S. with asthma.<\/p>\n Asthma is greatly influenced by where someone lives. People who have affordable and accessible health care, clean air, and economic stability have a greater chance of managing and controlling their asthma. The report ranks cities based on: asthma rates, emergency room visits, and deaths. These outcomes are influenced by various risk factors that can make asthma harder to manage and control.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Map Title” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” dvmd_hsp_mode=”show” dvmd_hsp_preset=”#12″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Hover over each state to see more information about cities that rank in this year’s report<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”US Map” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-50px||-15px||false|false” dvmd_hsp_mode=”show” dvmd_hsp_preset=”#12″ global_colors_info=”{}”]Asthma Capitals 2026<\/h2>\n
