Data Background
The County Health Rankings (CHR) is a data service of the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute which measures the health of nearly all counties in the nation and ranks them within states. CHR has been published for the nation's counties annually since 2010, expanding on similar work specific to Wisconsin since 2003. Rankings are compiled using county-level measures from a variety of national and state data sources. These measures are standardized and combined using scientifically-informed weights. County Health Rankings is a free public service, providing their wealth of their rankings and source data to the public for download.
For more information and to explore the original data, please visit the County Health Rankings website.
