General Description

PLACES offers model-based, population-level analysis and community estimates of health metrics for all counties. This enables local health departments and authorities to gain a better understanding of the burden and geographic distribution of health measures in their communities regardless of population size and rurality, and supports them in designing public health interventions. PLACES contains significant information related to social determinants of health (SDOH).

PLACES provides small area estimates for chronic disease risk factors, health outcomes, health status, and clinical preventive service use for counties, places (incorporated and census designated), census tracts, and ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTA) across the United States.
