Description

Provides health data for small areas across the country. PLACES includes model-based, population-level analysis and community estimates of various health measures to all counties, places (incorporated and census designated places), census tracts and ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) across the U.S.

Potential Uses
• Find health outcome data
Limitations
Estimates are not available for geographic areas with fewer than 50 residents. Combines health survey data and demographic data to produce estimates of disease burden using a modeling technique called "small area estimation", so users should be cognizant of uncertainty associated with resulting estimates.
