Whether you're looking to make local business decisions, integrate into a new neighborhood, or find volunteering opportunities where there is a need, it's important to be informed about the health of your community.

Fortunately, finding that information is quick and convenient when you visit https://www.countyhealthrankings.org.

This website brings together 50 reports through the collaboration of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. The result is a health ranking of each state's counties.

How Does Your Community Rank?

1. Simply visit https://www.countyhealthrankings.org.
2. Hover your mouse of the map of the U.S. and click on your state.
3. Click on your county once the state map appears on your screen.

It's that easy. With just a few clicks, you can see your county's overall ranking as well as important local statistics related to:

  • Unemployment
  • Education
  • Smoking and drinking
  • Access to recreational facilities
  • Air pollution
  • Poverty
  • Motor vehicle death rates
  • Diabetes
  • And much more!

Check out your county today - and share this information with friends, family members, and co-workers in your community!
