CDC PLACES local health estimates (data.cdc.gov)

CDC PLACES (Population Level Analysis and Community Estimates) on data.cdc.gov: model-based estimates of the share of adults with 40 measures, from chronic diseases (diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, COPD, asthma, coronary heart disease, stroke, depression, arthritis, cancer) to risk behaviors (smoking, binge drinking, physical inactivity, short sleep), prevention (health insurance, checkups, screenings), health status, disabilities and social needs, for every county, place, census tract and ZIP Code Tabulation Area in the 50 states and DC. Releases from 2020 on; the latest uses BRFSS survey data from 2022 and 2023. Each estimate carries 95% confidence limits and total and adult population, with a derived count of adults and a summary over every matching location, the denominators patient-based epidemiology and drug forecasting start from. Public domain U.S. Government data; every result carries CDC's attribution and terms.

Risk behaviors: BINGE, CSMOKING, LPA (no leisure-time physical activity), SLEEP (short sleep). Health status: GHLTH (fair or poor health), MHLTH (frequent mental distress), PHLTH (frequent physical distress). Disabilities (2023 release on): DISABILITY (any), COGNITION, HEARING, INDEPLIVE, MOBILITY, SELFCARE, VISION. Social needs (2024 release on): EMOTIONSPT, FOODINSECU, FOODSTAMP, HOUSINSECU, LACKTRPT, SHUTUTILITY; LONELINESS (2025 on); ISOLATION (2024 only). Releases up to 2023 only: CERVICAL, COREM, COREW, KIDNEY (chronic kidney disease). A measure the chosen release lacks is invalid_input naming the release's measures.

string

5-digit county FIPS code (`48201`): the census tracts of that county. Tract level only.

string

Geography: `county` (default), `place` (cities, towns and census designated places), `tract` (census tracts; needs `state`, `county_fips` or `locations`) or `zcta` (ZIP Code Tabulation Areas; no state, so select them by `locations` or page through all).

number

Locations per page. `total_count` and `summary` cover every match.

string[]

1 to 100 location codes at the chosen level: 5-digit county FIPS (`48201`), 7-digit place FIPS (`1714000`), 11-digit tract FIPS (`48201100001`) or 5-digit ZCTA (`77002`). County, place and tract codes must start with a state's FIPS code (and `state`'s, when given). Codes without an estimate are left out with a warning; when none of them exists for any measure, the call is not_found. Separate values with commas.

string

USPS code of one of the 50 states or DC (`TX`). Not at zcta level, where CDC gives no state. Needed with `name`, and at tract level unless `county_fips` or `locations` is given.
