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
data 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
