Preventative Healthcare
Data are current as of 12/4/2023
Most recent dashboard update: 12/4/2023
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
Data are current as of 12/4/2023
Most recent dashboard update: 12/4/2023
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.

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.
