North Carolina Statewide and County Trends in Key Health Indicators

For each county in North Carolina, the State Center for Health Statistics has produced 22 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 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 Where Mother Smoked During Pregnancy
