The 2023 PLACES Data are now live!

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion is excited to announce the release of 2023 PLACES data.

How PLACES Can Improve Your Health Efforts

The PLACES data tool provides local, model-based estimates for understanding health outcomes, preventive service use, health-risk behaviors, disabilities, health status, and health-related social needs at the local level. PLACES covers various geographic areas, including counties, census-designated places, census tracts, and ZIP Code Tabulation Areas. Unique Value of PLACES PLACES enhances existing surveillance data by offering estimates for health issues in local areas of all sizes, whether urban or rural. The tool helps to inform targeted public health interventions and resource allocation to improve community health. Overview of Release The latest PLACES model-based estimates are generated using 2023 data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), U.S. Census 2020 Population Count, and the American Community Survey 2019–2023 including: 35 measures from 2023 BRFSS data. 5 measures from 2022 BRFSS estimates: colorectal cancer screening, mammography, short sleep duration, dental visit, and all-teeth lost. The mental health measure “loneliness” has replaced “social isolation” for 39 states and the District of Columbia. Compared with social isolation, loneliness is a stronger indicator of health. It reflects a person's real feelings and experiences, and with the right support, people with loneliness can find help.
