County Health Status Profiles
The
County Health Status Profiles (Profiles) report shares important public health data for the state of California and by each county, providing unique insights to raise awareness of some county health issues.
It includes total population estimates, event counts, crude case rates, and age-adjusted rates/percentages by county of residence on topics like:
- Mortality
- Infant Mortality
- Morbidity Conditions
- Natality
- Other Key Health Indicators
These indicators are chosen in collaboration with local health officers and epidemiologists. The three-year average rates and percentages are ranked and compared to national goals from the Healthy People National Objectives. The report also shows how current data compares to the past three-year period.
Profiles is published every year, usually during National Public Health Week.
