We invite you to read and share the reports, data profiles and online tools intended
to help everyone understand the state of health equity in our communities and the
root causes of inequities. Several of these materials help highlight how community
conditions affect health, and how systems, policies and practices have worked to
advantage certain communities over others. Check back soon for additional reports
and data fact sheets that document racial and ethnic inequities in health and the
opportunities necessary for health.
For more information about data and research efforts related to health equity and
its root causes, please contact LACHealthEquity@ph.lacounty.gov.
In June 2018, The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health released City and Community Health Profiles, a series of reports describing health outcomes in 86 cities and communities. These profiles are the most geographically focused reports to date on the health of residents and the community conditions impacting their health across Los Angeles County. Data were reported for 58 indicators of health, demographics, and social, economic, and environmental conditions in each city and community.
To access reports, go to: http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/ohae/cchp/index.htm. On this site, you can also create customized profiles and compare results for health indicators across Los Angeles County.
