NEW PLACES Data Now Live!

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Division of Population Health in the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion is excited to announce the newest release of PLACES (available at www.cdc.gov/places). PLACES provides hyper-local, model-based estimates for the entire U.S. population for 49 chronic disease and other health-related measures at four levels of geography: U.S. counties, incorporated and census-designated places, census tracts, and ZIP Code Tabulation Areas. 


The latest PLACES model-based estimates are generated from the 2022 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), U.S. Census 2020 Population Count, and the American Community Survey 2018-2022.


Seven New PLACES Measures

This year’s release includes seven new health-related social needs measures for 39 states and the District of Columbia. These include the prevalence of: 

  • Social isolation
  • Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits (or SNAP, formerly food stamps)
  • Food insecurity
  • Housing insecurity
  • Threat of utility shut-off
  • Transportation barriers, and
  • Lack of social and emotional support.
Additional updates for this PLACES release include:

  • Two measures were discontinued because of program recommendations—chronic kidney disease and preventive services for older adults.
  • U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendations for colorectal cancer screening were updated for adults aged 50–75 to 45–75 years.
  • The measure for cervical cancer screening could not be updated.
  • Measure names and definitions were adjusted for asthma, cancer, smoking, sleep, taking high blood pressure medication, routine checkup, dental visit, mental health, and physical health. See current release notes and measure definitions for more information.
  • All measure definitions were updated based on Chronic Disease Indicators (CDI) indicator definitions.
We want to hear from you!

We look forward to hearing how you use these data to promote health, prevent disease, and promote equity in our nation’s largest cities to smaller cities and rural areas—and everywhere in between.
