is percentage of population in bad health variable and the percentage born in state; continuous data or categoric?

Question

and what is best spread and average to use? is percentage of population in bad health variable and the percentage born in state; continuous data or categoric?

Answer 1

Bad Health Variable would be continuous (you can have a very bad health and good health and everything in between)

Born in State would be a categorical variable (you are either born in one state or another; there can't be in between)

 

I am not sure if I am understanding the question properly... but for the best spread and average:

Best central tendency to use for the bad health variable would be mean and standard deviation.
