■ County Health Profiles
District and County Health Profiles
Each of Florida’s ten local health councils publishes health profiles for each county in their district and their district as a whole.
The purpose of these profiles is to provide concise overviews of the health status and related indicators to public officials, planners, and the general public.
The profiles summarize a broad range of data related to the health of the community including the following:
- Demographic data by age, race, ethnicity and gender
- Socioeconomic date including income, poverty, unemployment and education
- Maternal and infant health data including birth rates, low birth weight, teen births, prenatal care, immunizations and infant death
- Health access information including percentage of persons uninsured
- Federal designations for professional shortage areas
- Leading causes of death including rates by type
- Utilization data including hospital discharge rates and bed days, and nursing home utilization rates
