Social & Economic Factors
Economic and social insecurity often are associated with poor health. Poverty, unemployment, and lack of educational achievement
affect access to care and a community’s ability to engage in healthy behaviors. Without a network of support and a safe community,
families cannot thrive. Ensuring access to social and economic resources provides a foundation for a healthy community.
Children Eligible for Free/Reduced Price Lunch
Within the report area 104,602 public school students or 51.51% are eligible for Free/Reduced Price lunch out of 203,059 total
students enrolled. This indicator is relevant because it assesses vulnerable populations which are more likely to have multiple health
access, health status, and social support needs. Additionally, when combined with poverty data, providers can use this measure to
identify gaps in eligibility and enrollment.

recreational opportunities is important to maintaining and improving community health.

Health Behaviors
Health behaviors such as poor diet, a lack of exercise, and substance abuse contribute to poor health status.
Physical Inactivity
Within the report area, 131,529 or 13.8% of adults aged 20 and older self-report no leisure time for activity, based on the question: "During the
past month, other than your regular job, did you participate in any physical activities or exercises such as running, calisthenics, golf, gardening,
or walking for exercise?". This indicator is relevant because current behaviors are determinants of future health and this indicator may illustrate
a cause of significant health issues, such as obesity and poor cardiovascular health.

Health Outcomes
Measuring morbidity and mortality rates allows assessing linkages between social determinants of health and outcomes. By comparing, for
example, the prevalence of certain chronic diseases to indicators in other categories (e.g., poor diet and exercise) with outcomes (e.g., high rates
of obesity and diabetes), various causal relationship may emerge, allowing a better understanding of how certain community health needs may
be addressed.
Obesity
19.4% of adults aged 20 and older self-report that they have a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 30.0 (obese) in the report area. Excess
weight may indicate an unhealthy lifestyle and puts individuals at risk for further health issues.
