Why is Demographics Data Important?
Demographics are information about the characteristics and trends of a population, such as age, sex, and location. This data helps identify the health needs of a community and allows us to tailor public health programs to those needs. It also guides how we distribute resources during emergencies, ensuring that recovery efforts are equitable.
What's Here
The demographics dashboard is divided into 3 geographic levels: county, regional Accountable Communities of Health (ACHs), and census tracts. The dashboard contains population counts and percentages for the following measures across each geographic level:
- Age group
- Sex
- Race and ethnicity (available as single race alone or in combination with other races)
The population data used on this dashboard comes from the Office of Financial Management Small Area Demographic Estimates.
