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 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data (2020 or 2019), Census Bureau 2010 census population data or annual population estimates for county vintage 2020 or 2019, and American Community Survey (ACS) 2015–2019 estimates, or ACS 2016–2020. 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 poor or fair health.

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 40 measures for chronic disease related health outcomes (12), prevention measures (7), health risk behaviors (4), disability (7), health status (3), and health-related social needs (7). Data were provided by CDC Division of Population Health, Epidemiology and Surveillance Branch. Data sources used to generate these measures include BRFSS data (2022 or 2021), Census Bureau 2020 census population data or annual population estimates for county vintage 2022, and American Community Survey (ACS) 2018-2022 estimates. The health outcomes include arthritis, current asthma, high blood pressure, cancer (non-skin) or melanoma, 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 are lack of health insurance, routine checkup within the past year, visited dentist or dental clinic in the past year, taking medicine to control high blood pressure, cholesterol screening, mammography use for women, and colorectal cancer screening. The health risk behaviors are binge drinking, current cigarette smoking, physical inactivity, and short sleep duration.The disability measures are six disability types (hearing, vision, cognitive, mobility, self-care, and independent living) and any disability.The health status measures are frequent mental distress, frequent physical distress, and poor or fair health.The health-related social needs measures are social isolation, food stamps, food insecurity, housing insecurity, utility services threat, transportation barriers, and lack of social and emotional support.For more information, please visit https://www.cdc.gov/places or contact places@cdc.gov.

The original 500 Cities Project provided city- and census tract-level estimates for chronic disease risk factors (5), health outcomes (13), and clinical preventive services use (9) for the 500 largest US cities. The PLACES Project extends these estimates to all counties, places (incorporated and census designated places), census tracts and ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTA) across the United States. Data were provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Division of Population Health, Epidemiology and Surveillance Branch. Data sources used to generate these measures include BRFSS data (2018 or 2017), Census Bureau 2010 census population data or annual population estimates for county vintage 2018 or 2017, and American Community Survey (ACS) 2014-2018 or 2013-2017 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, mental health not good for >=14 days, physical health not good for >=14 days, all teeth lost and stroke.The preventive services uses 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 unhealthy behaviors include binge drinking, current smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, and sleeping less than 7 hours.For more information about the methodology, visit https://www.cdc.gov/places or contact places@cdc.gov.CDC's source webpage.CDC's feature service.
