Abstract:
The County Health Rankings project was designed to measure various health indicators across all U.S. counties and evaluate the performance of these counties relative to each other within a state. This analysis examined the rankings in 2010 and 2019 to determine the changes taking place within New York State, as well as how New York State counties compare with counties across the country. This report provides a new perspective on the health of the 62 counties in New York over the past decade, and provides policymakers with additional means of benchmarking county performance. Findings: (1) New York State counties generally ranked healthier relative to counties in other states, although there was a slight decline in their relative rankings over time. (2) The spread between healthy and less healthy New York State counties did not change significantly between 2010 and 2019. (3) Few counties in New York State dramatically improved or worsened their rankings within the state. (4) Other states with healthier outcomes and smaller disparities across counties suggest that there is room for improvement in New York State.
