• Women's health and well-being: At 18th in the nation as a whole, women in Arizona have better health status than women in many other states. The state has a low proportion of women with diabetes, low rates of mortality from breast cancer. While women's self-reported overall mental health is first in the country, women in the state are much more likely to die from suicide than women in almost every other state. Arizona's grade of B- reflects the state's room for improvement in women's health and well-being.

• Women's economic autonomy: Arizona ranks 49th for women with health insurance and 43rd for the proportion of women living in poverty. Almost 16 percent of women live under the poverty line in Arizona, considerably more than the national poverty rate for women.
