PPV is Participation Point Value. This is a calculation of the number of active participants in each state relative to that state’s population against the total population of the country. This puts states with large populations and those with smaller populations on an even playing field to be the Most Active State. State rankings are based on Overall PPV.*

*Overall PPV is the cumulative sum of Weekly PPV totals.
Weekly PPV = # active participants (have logged 5 days of activity that week) x Factor # / 10,000 (dividing by 10,000 makes the number a more manageable size)
(Factor # = state population/U.S. total population)
