PLACES (Population Level Analysis and Community Estimates) is an expansion of the original 500 Cities project and is a collaboration between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the CDC Foundation. The original 500 Cities Project provided city- and census tract-level estimates for the 500 largest US cities. PLACES extends these estimates to all counties, places (incorporated and census designated places), census tracts, and ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTA) across the United States. This service includes 29 measures for chronic disease related health outcomes (13), prevention measures (9), health risk behaviors (4), and health status (3). Data were provided by CDC Division of Population Health, Epidemiology and Surveillance Branch. Data sources used to generate these measures include BRFSS data (2019 or 2018), Census Bureau 2010 census population data or annual population estimates for county vintage 2019 or 2018, and American Community Survey (ACS) 2015-2019 or 2014-2018 estimates. The health outcomes include arthritis, current asthma, high blood pressure, cancer (excluding skin cancer), high cholesterol, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), coronary heart disease, diagnosed diabetes, depression, obesity, all teeth lost, and stroke. The prevention measures include lack of health insurance, visits to doctor for routine checkup, visits to dentist, taking medicine for high blood pressure control, cholesterol screening, mammography use for women, cervical cancer screening for women, colon cancer screening, and core preventive services use for older adults (men and women). The health risk behaviors include binge drinking, current smoking, physical inactivity, and sleeping less than 7 hours. The health status measures include mental health not good for ≥14 days, physical health not good for ≥14 days, and fair or poor health.

OverviewThis map visualizes the 2022 overall SVI for U.S. counties and tractsSocial Vulnerability Index (SVI) indicates the relative vulnerability of every U.S. county and tract16 social factors grouped into four major themesIndex value calculated for each county for the 16 social factors, four major themes, and the overall rankWhat is CDC/ATSDR Social Vulnerability Index?ATSDR’s Geospatial Research, Analysis & Services Program (GRASP) has created the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) to help emergency response planners and public health officials identify and map the communities that will most likely need support before, during, and after a hazardous event.SVI uses U.S. Census data to determine the social vulnerability of every county and tract. CDC SVI ranks each county and tract on 16 social factors, including poverty, lack of vehicle access, and crowded housing, and groups them into four related themes:Socioeconomic StatusHousehold CharacteristicsRacial & Ethnic Minority StatusHousing Type & TransportationVariablesFor a detailed description of variable uses, please refer to the full SVI 2022 documentation.RankingsWe ranked counties and tracts for the entire United States against one another. The feature layer can be used for mapping and analysis of relative vulnerability of counties in multiple states, or across the U.S. as a whole. Rankings are based on percentiles. Percentile ranking values range from 0 to 1, with higher values indicating greater vulnerability. For each county and tract, we generated its percentile rank among all counties and tracts for 1) the sixteen individual variables, 2) the four themes, and 3) its overall position.Overall Rankings:We totaled the sums for each theme, ordered the counties, and then calculated overall percentile rankings. Please note: taking the sum of the sums for each theme is the same as summing individual variable rankings.The overall tract summary ranking variable is RPL_THEMES.Theme rankings:For each of the four themes, we summed the percentiles for the variables comprising each theme. We ordered the summed percentiles for each theme to determine theme-specific percentile rankings. The four summary theme ranking variables are:Socioeconomic Status - RPL_THEME1Household Characteristics - RPL_THEME2Racial & Ethnic Minority Status - RPL_THEME3Housing Type & Transportation - RPL_THEME4FlagsCounties and tracts in the top 10%, i.e., at the 90th percentile of values, are given a value of 1 to indicate high vulnerability. Counties and tracts below the 90th percentile are given a value of 0. For a theme, the flag value is the number of flags for variables comprising the theme. We calculated the overall flag value for each county as the total number of all variable flags.SVI Informational VideosIntroduction to CDC Social Vulnerability Index (SVI)More Questions?CDC SVI 2022 Full DocumentationSVI Home PageContact the SVI Coordinator

Infectious disease experts have predicted a pandemic, saying it was not a question of if but when. Drawing on experiences with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), avian influenza (H5N1), and novel influenza A (H1N1), the World Health Organization (WHO) and other health authorities, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), urged nations and local governments to prepare pandemic response plans. Many ministries of health and subnational departments of health around the world have activated those plans in response to coronavirus and are sharing data as required by the updated International Health Regulations.Esri's work with health organizations and government leaders has proven location intelligence from geographic information system (GIS) technology and data to be critical for the following:Assessing risk and evaluating threatsMonitoring and tracking outbreaksMaintaining situational awarenessEnsuring resource allocationNotifying agencies and communitiesThe current coronavirus disease pandemic presents an opportunity to build on the experience and readiness of Esri's existing global user community in health and human services. Through real-time maps, apps, and dashboards, GIS will also facilitate a seamless flow of relevant data as a component of the response from local to global levels. A compelling case exists for building on top of the public health GIS foundation that is already in place both in the United States and around the world.After reading this paper, leadership and senior staff should understand the following:The necessity to apply location intelligence to public health processes in coronavirus responseHow GIS can support immediate and long-term actionWhat resources Esri provides its customers

At the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a new effort is under way to assist states in creating or enhancing localized COVID-19 dashboards and maps for the public. This effort with states has an external focus, aiming to help the them deliver data to residents, civic leaders, and public health administrators. Armed with this information, states and localities will be better equipped to monitor the impacts and mitigate risks, and federal resources can go where they are needed most, because everyone will be working from the same data._Communities around the world are taking strides in mitigating the threat that COVID-19 (coronavirus) poses. Geography and location analysis have a crucial role in better understanding this evolving pandemic.When you need help quickly, Esri can provide data, software, configurable applications, and technical support for your emergency GIS operations.
