The project staff of the North Carolina Community Health Assessment Initiative (NC-CHAI) created the County Health Data Book to provide communities with quantitative data to support community health assessments. The County Health Data Book includes a wide range of health-related county and state data in seven main areas: Population, Pregnancy/Live Births, Mortality, Morbidity, Health Resources/Programs, Education, and Community Health.
Preface, Guide Book, and Associated Documents
All data from the County Data Book that are available in electronic format are available for download from the web. The Excel worksheets for each main area are contained in one Excel 97 workbook.
