New York County Health Indicators with Disparity Measures

70 health tracking indicators provide county-level metrics for New York State's 2019-2024 health improvement plan. Data includes the most recent values, historical trends where available, and 2024 state objectives for each indicator. The dataset was published by health.data.ny.gov and last updated in June 2022.

Use Cases

• Analyze geographic health disparities by comparing 'Event Count/Rate' and 'Percentage/Rate/Ratio' across 'County Name' and 'Quartile'.
• Assess progress toward '2024 Objective' targets for specific 'Indicator' categories like 'Priority Area' and 'Focus Area'.
• Model health outcome predictors using features such as 'Lower Limit of 95% CI', 'Upper Limit of 95% CI', and 'Measure Unit'.
• Map health indicator distributions using geospatial columns like 'Location (address)' and 'County Name'.

Strengths

• Covers 70 distinct health tracking indicators and sub-indicators.
• Includes data for all counties in New York State.
