Health Data Visualization

Washington Tracking Network Dashboards

These Washington Tracking Network dashboards contain interactive maps, charts and graphs that allow you to explore a wide range of data for Washington State.

For best results in viewing the Tableau dashboards the following web browser versions or later are recommended: Windows IE 11, Mozilla Firefox 52.5, Google Chrome 65.0, and Safari IOS 11.3. If you are running any other browser (i.e. Windows Edge 16); the dashboards may not display properly.

The usual source of population data from the Office of Financial Management (OFM) that we use to calculate health-related rates is unavailable until 2024. DOH is using population interim estimates (PIE) developed by Public Health - Seattle and King County. These have been vetted by subject matter experts and stakeholders from the Department of Health, local health jurisdictions and Tribal Epidemiology Centers. PIE are available for 2000-2022 so that a consistent series of population data is available. Because we have applied PIE to historic data, some rates will be different from what we published previously. We are in the process of updating rates with PIE; the date that each dashboard is updated is noted on the dashboard itself. For more information, please email DOH.WTN@doh.wa.gov.

Adolescent Health

Biomonitoring data provide information on the total amount of environmental chemicals that enter the body from all possible sources by measuring environmental chemicals or their breakdown products (metabolites).

Birth Outcomes

Explore birth data dashboards on birth counts and rates, fertility patterns and maternal and infant health characteristics. Birth statistics are available for 2003 onward at the state, county and Accountable Communities of Health (ACH) levels.

Community Report

The Washington Tracking Network's (WTN) Community Report tool allows you to see a variety of health measures for a given geography. Currently the Community Report is available as a downloadable table. We plan to build on this tool to also include data visualization dashboards for health outcomes, health behaviors, and access and preventive care topics.
