Health Data and Statistics
County specific data on everything you could possibly
want to know and a lot of stuff you don't want to find
out about, including up to date tracking of the most
common communicable diseases (yuck, I'd rather not know
that stuff is near me), motor vehicle data, birth data,
hospitalization data and more.
Tri-County Reports
-
Michigan Behavioral Risk Factor Survey Tables
Statewide telephone survey results detailing the
prevalence of behaviors, medical conditions, and
preventive health practices of Michigan
residents 18 years and older. Part of the
national CDC Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance
System. These reports are combined results
from several years of surveys and include
results from the Branch-Hillsdale-St. Joseph
region. There are not enough surveys performed
in each of our counties separately to have
county level data. Surveying adults at the
County level is extremely expensive and the CHA
does not participate in the BRFS at the single
county level.
