Childhood asthma
County hospitalizations and stable ZIP-level emergency-department visit rates for children.
Read the geography and period first
Emergency visits reflect asthma severity, triggers, primary-care access, and management. ZIP points are geographic references, not patient addresses.
Western New York
Circles show approximate county centers and are sized by the selected value. They are not patient locations.
Eight-county comparison
Highest reported value to lowest
Placement is descriptive. “Highest” is not automatically “worst,” particularly for access, income, screening, and protective measures.
