Using 43 different metrics, ranging from reproductive health care to housing conditions, they aimed to identify what factors contribute to poor maternal health and which communities are at the highest risk. The results are shocking, but not surprising. Southern states fare the worst, with one-fifth of women living in counties with a high risk of adverse maternal health outcomes. States along the coasts score better, but pockets of concern are scattered across the country, especially in areas with a high Indigenous population. The racial disparities are particularly alarming. Compared to white women, Black women are 1.6 times more likely to live in unfavorable conditions and 2.5 times more likely to die during childbirth. A similar gap exists between white and American Indian and Alaska Native mothers, with the latter being 2.6 times more likely to live under conditions not conducive to good maternal health.
