North Carolina Statewide and County Trends in Key Health Indicators

For each county in North Carolina, the State Center for Health Statistics has produced 20 graphs representing trends in key health indicators at both the county and state levels over approximately the past 15 years. In order to ensure a fair degree of stability in rates and trends when annual numbers for a county may be relatively small, several years of data have been grouped together and averaged out for each indicator, resulting in three data points for each indicator.

1. Percentage of Resident Live Births Classified as Low Birthweight
2. Percentage of Resident Live Births that were Premature
3. Resident Teen Pregnancies per 1,000 Female Population
4. Repeat Teen Pregnancies
5. Infant Mortality Rates
6. Youth Death Rates (Ages 0-17)
7. Age-Adjusted Heart Disease Death Rates
8. Age-Adjusted Stroke Death Rates
9. Age-Adjusted Total Cancer Death Rates
10. Age-adjusted Colon, Rectum & Anus Cancer Death Rates
11. Age-Adjusted Trachea, Bronchus & Lung Cancer Death Rates
12. Age-Adjusted Female Breast Cancer Incidence Rates
