Disparities in health outcomes—such as life expectancy and rates of diabetes—frequently correlate with unequal treatment based on race and other identities. The Data Center gathers a range of indicators for exploring gaps and inequities in health.

Preventative Healthcare
Census Tract 9800 (Kent County)
What is this section about?
Regular physicals, screenings, vaccinations, and other preventative health measures are critical to preventing disease and disability. Disparities in preventative healthcare can be indicative of inequities in healthcare access, differing environmental exposures (e.g. local air quality), service gaps, and other systemic factors potentially linked to race, gender, and other identities.

Chronic Disease and Health Outcomes
Census Tract 9800 (Kent County)
What is this section about?
The prevalence of persistent disease and disabling conditions that require ongoing medical attention or otherwise impact day-to-day activities is a clear barometer of population health. Chronic diseases are among the leading causes of death and disability in the U.S., and inequities across such measures can help reveal patterns of unequal access to care and health insurance as well as correlations with economic factors such as access to stable housing.

Adverse Childhood Experiences
Census Tract 9800 (Kent County)
What is this section about?
An adverse childhood experience is a potentially traumatic event—such as one involving violence, death, neglect, or mental health or substance use problems—that occurs between the ages of 0 and 17. Such experiences can be linked to health and wellbeing later in life, and disparities in the data may provide evidence of where support services have been historically lacking or are currently in need.

What is this section about?
Issues of equity—access to testing and vaccinations; differing vulnerability of workers, older adults, and others—have been central to the COVID-19 pandemic response. In addition to the case and vaccination data presented in the Data Center, My Healthy Community maintains a comprehensive COVID-19 dashboard featuring current (updated daily) and historical data about the pandemic.
