According to the County Health Rankings and Roadmaps (2021), my county ranks as one of the healthiest counties in the state in the areas of health outcomes and health factors. However, low birth rate is high at 6% compared to best performers in the nation, of which 9% are black, and both American Indian & Alaska Native and Asian are 8%. Mammography screening is low at 46% compared to the best performers in the nation at 51%, of which the lowest percentages are black and American Indian & Alaska Native. In the area of environmental factors, 79% of people drive alone to work versus the best performers in the nation at 72%. These are just a few of the many epidemiological health rankings for the county. This information is helpful for conducting a public health assessment for the purpose of determining priorities, and focus areas for future public health planning, interventions and on-going monitoring. The information from both sources help determine where to emphasize resources such as data on primary spoken language, educational level, and race/ethnicity.
