Health Equity Starts at the Neighborhood Level
Wide health differences exist between neighborhoods, yet local-level health data is often not readily available. This gap makes it challenging for community organizations, health systems, government agencies, researchers, and others to identify and prioritize local improvement opportunities or target neighborhoods facing inequity.
Our data, tools, and examples are available to:
- Identify new or confirm existing opportunities for improvement
- Inform strategies
- Strengthen proposals to secure resources
- Build supportive partnerships
- Advocate for change
- Support evaluation in Wisconsin neighborhoods
Data
Our reports and maps provide data for most Wisconsin ZIP codes, and select ZIP codes in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and Minnesota, covering over 25 health care outcome and quality measures. These resources can assist communities, researchers, government agencies, and healthcare organizations in identifying or confirming local opportunities for improvement.
Tools
Our tools offer deeper insights into the data presented in the reports, providing ideas and guidance for taking action. They help users understand the data and how to apply it effectively to drive change in their communities.
Examples
Our examples demonstrate how these reports have been utilized and illustrate how different roles—such as community leaders, researchers, and policymakers—can use the data and tools provided by NHP to facilitate positive health outcomes.
