Abstract
⺠Income and education may not capture all relevant aspects of SES in health research. ⺠Property values have been previously used as a measure of SES and wealth, though they have not been applied to obesity among adults. ⺠Among women in this study in King County, Washington State, USA, property values were strongly associated with obesity. ⺠Property values may represent an underutilized resource for objective data on SES not captured by education or income.
