Community Health Status Indicators (CHSI) Report
CHSI provides county-level health data updated to 2006 that is viewable online or printable in brochure format. There’s a report for each county in the United States with data on vulnerable populations, measures of health, birth and death, environmental health risk factors, preventive service use and access to care,
among others. Links to data sources are provided as well as the complete downloadable CHSI dataset. CHSI is made possible by a partnership that includes the CDC, National Institutes of Health/National Library of Medicine, Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Public Health Foundation and the National Association of County and City Health Officials among others. You can view this report from our Statistical/Data Resources web page at:
