EXHIBIT 2. Examples of how census tract–level information can be linked to health outcomes in a staged manner by displaying geomarkers.
SOURCE Authors’ analysis of data from the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (asthma emergency visits and hospitalizations); Health Resources and Services Administration, US Department of Health and Human Services (medically underserved areas); Cincinnati Area Geographic Information System (housing code violation density); US Census Bureau (census tracts, poverty rate); and Cincinnati Police Department (crime rate). NOTES This exhibit shows census tract–level information specific to the health service, physical, economic, and psychosocial environments in Cincinnati, Ohio. Geomarkers such as those shown could inform community health assessments and be amenable to population- or patient-level interventions.
