PLACES: Local Data for Better Health, Place Data, 2025 release

This dataset contains model-based place (incorporated and census-designated places) estimates. PLACES covers the entire United States—50 states and the District of Columbia—at county, place, census tract, and ZIP Code Tabulation Area levels. It provides information uniformly on this large scale for local areas at four geographic levels. Estimates were provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Division of Population Health, Epidemiology and Surveillance Branch. PLACES was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in conjunction with the CDC Foundation. The dataset includes estimates for 40 measures: 12 for health outcomes, 7 for preventive services use, 4 for chronic disease-related health risk behaviors, 7 for disabilities, 3 for health status, and 7 for health-related social needs. These estimates can be used to identify emerging health problems and to help develop and carry out effective, targeted public health prevention activities. Because the small area model cannot detect effects due to local interventions, users are cautioned against using these estimates for program or policy evaluations. Data sources used to generate these model-based estimates are Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) 2023 or 2022 data, Census Bureau 2020 population data, and American Community Survey 2019-2023 or 2018–2022 estimates. The 2025 release uses 2023 BRFSS data for 35 measures and 2022 BRFSS data for 5 measures (all teeth lost, dental visits, mammograms, colorectal cancer screening, and short sleep duration) that the survey collects data on every other year.

本数据集包含基于模型的建制普查指定地点（incorporated and census-designated places）估算数据。PLACES即为本数据集，覆盖美国全境（含50个州及哥伦比亚特区），涵盖县级、普查指定地点、普查街区（census tract）及邮政编码统计区域（ZIP Code Tabulation Area, ZCTA）四个地理层级，并以统一标准为各地方区域提供全域信息。本数据集的估算数据由美国疾病控制与预防中心（Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC）人口健康司流行病学与监测处提供，PLACES项目由罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊基金会（Robert Wood Johnson Foundation）与CDC基金会（CDC Foundation）联合资助。本数据集涵盖40项指标的估算数据，其中健康结局12项、预防性服务使用情况7项、慢性病相关健康风险行为4项、残疾相关情况7项、健康状况3项、健康相关社会需求7项。此类估算数据可用于识别新发健康问题，助力制定并实施高效、精准的公共卫生预防举措。由于小区域模型无法检测本地干预措施带来的效果，因此提醒用户切勿将此类估算数据用于项目或政策评估。生成此类基于模型的估算数据所使用的数据源包括：2023年或2022年行为风险因素监测系统（Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, BRFSS）数据、美国人口普查局（Census Bureau）2020年人口数据，以及2019-2023年或2018-2022年美国社区调查（American Community Survey, ACS）估算数据。本次2025版数据集采用了35项指标的2023年BRFSS数据，以及5项每两年采集一次数据的指标（全口无牙、牙科就诊、乳腺钼靶筛查、结直肠癌筛查及睡眠不足）的2022年BRFSS数据。如需了解更多方法学相关信息，请访问官网www.cdc.gov/places。
