National County Health Rankings

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute have released comprehensive national county health rankings. This is a first of its kind collection of 50 reports – one for each state - that evaluates the overall health of each county. When you drill down into the data, you get figures on everything from car accident rates, hospice use, high school graduation rates and liquor store density. The health ranking for your county and the data used to establish the ranking can be found here: here.
