The Hamilton County Community Data Profiles and WeTHRIVE! Data Profiles offer comprehensive insights into various aspects of health within each community. These profiles compile data from a range of sources, including the U.S. Census Bureau, Ohio Department of Health, Ohio Department of Public Safety, Health Monitoring EpiCenter, Hamilton County Public Health, and Hamilton County R3Source.
The data presented in these profiles are typically at a community level whenever possible. However, in cases where specific data are unavailable or cannot be calculated at the community level, the profiles may include residents from neighboring communities who share the same ZIP code(s). To accurately determine the community in which an individual resides, Hamilton County Public Health utilizes addresses from vital records such as deaths, births, and reported cases of notifiable diseases, mapping them to determine precise locations within Hamilton County.
For more meaningful comparisons, mortality rates are calculated using rates tailored to the population size of each community. Time frames for data indicators are noted within the profiles, with some statistics derived from multi-year estimates obtained from the American Community Survey (ACS).
Key data sources include:
- U.S. Census Bureau / American Fact Finder
- Ohio Department of Health
- Ohio Department of Public Safety
- Health Monitoring EpiCenter
- Hamilton County Public Health
- Hamilton County R3Source
These profiles cover a wide range of health-related indicators, including but not limited to mortality rates, motor vehicle crash data, diversion rates (measuring waste diverted from landfills), and confirmed public health nuisances investigated by Hamilton County Public Health staff.
