This report ranks all 50 states and the District of Columbia based on fifteen mental health prevalence and access measures for youth and adults. These measures are collected from federal data sources, including data from SAMHSA, the CDC, and the Department of Education. The data for the 2024 State of Mental Health in America report were gathered through 2022.
These rankings provide a baseline for answering some questions about how many people in America need and have access to mental health services.
This report also includes two policy spotlights – one on creating supportive communities through prevention and another on keeping people in communities with a focus on housing.
