I'm sure this is going to be one of the big health items in the next news cycles, but it's also going to be really handy for health communication researchers looking to justify using a sample drawn from particular counties. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation just has a write-up of the research, conducted by folks at UW-Madison, looking at public health on a county-by-county basis around the U.S.
The actual website where you can dig into the data is available at County Health Rankings. It's a very well done website, which lets you dig down into every state to get some good stats on each. There are other reports that let you sort counties based on health outcomes and health factors, get more extensive reports on each state, etc. Really, really good stuff.
Travis County, #7 in Texas, there we go!
