Wide health differences exist between neighborhoods, but health data is often not available at the local level.

Our reports, tools, and resources are available to identify new or confirm existing opportunities for improvement, inform strategies, strengthen proposals to secure resources, build supportive partnerships, advocate for change, and support evaluation in Wisconsin neighborhoods.

Reports are available for most Wisconsin ZIP codes, covering 25+ health care outcome and quality measures. Reports can support communities, researchers, government agencies, and health care organizations in identifying or confirming local opportunities for improvement.

Action Tools promote a deeper understanding of the data included in the reports and provide ideas and guidance for taking action.
