Examining Health Characteristics by Census Tract
At the census tract/neighborhood level, 937 tracts were estimated to have more than 10% of the population ages 18 years and over with coronary heart disease. What are characteristics of health-related factors in your city, neighborhood and census tracts of interest? Use tools reviewed in this section to access/analyze a wide range of health-related characteristics (see item list below) -- not available at the city or census tract level before. Patterns of High Blood Pressure: Honolulu, HI by Census Tract  - Click graphic for larger view with high blood pressure %population - View developed with CV XE GIS software and related GIS project/fileset. Accsss/analyze these data for approximately 28,000 tracts (of a total approximate 74,000) on topics including chronic disease risk factors, health outcomes and clinical preventive service use for the largest 500 cities in the U.S. These small area data enable stakeholders in cities, local health departments, neighborhoods and study areas to better understand the characteristics and geographic distribution of health-related measures and how they might impact health-related programs and other demographic-economic issues.

Analytical Potential The 500 Cities data have been developed as a part of the CDC 500 Cities project, a collaboration between the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the CDC Foundation. These data provide only the health characteristics attributes. They are a small, but important, subset of a larger set of key health metrics. These data are estimates subject to errors of estimation and provide a snapshot view of one point in time. The value of these data can be leveraged by linking them with other demographic-economic data from the American Community Survey (ACS 2015) tract and city data. Integrate and analyze these data with related data and alternative geography. See related health data analytics section. Integrate and analyze these data with related data and alternative geography. ProximityOne develops and analyzes demographic estimates and projections and performs studies using these data. Health-related patterns and characteristics of the population is one of many subject matter areas. See about other healthcare related sections in this related section.
