Public Health Atlas · Community conditions

Social determinants of health

Poverty, food access, household income, and social vulnerability measures that shape health opportunity.

Read the geography and period first

These measures describe community conditions. They are not individual traits and should not be used to stigmatize places or residents.

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.

Optional environmental context

Open the documentary record without implying causation.

Health statistics and environmental history remain separate by default. These links preserve that distinction while making related records easy to inspect.
