Documentation

The Healthy Places Index is a collection of indicators produced by the Public Health Alliance of Southern California from a wide variety of data sources to study social determinants of health. It offers index values for many topics — about 80 columns — as well as a weighted aggreate index value, all at the tract level.

This version of the HPI presents the original file with only one modification: the Tiger format Geoid for tracts has been converted to ACS format.
