# Geospatial SDOH

Understanding the impact of neighborhood conditions, socioeconomic and environmental risks is crucial for improving health outcomes and managing medical costs. By analyzing Social Determinants of Health (SDOH), healthcare organizations can identify opportunities for cost-effective, community-based interventions that address the root causes of health disparities.

## What's Included?

PolicyMap's SDOH dataset offers a comprehensive view of the non-medical risk factors influencing health and quality of life. Our extensive US-based data provides granular insights into community demographics, health metrics, and social determinants, from local neighborhoods and zip codes to the national scale. This population health information is vital for understanding the diverse challenges and opportunities within different communities.<br/>

## Use Cases

Our research-ready data enables healthcare professionals to pinpoint disparities in housing, transportation, internet access, environmental quality, access to nutritious food, economic opportunities, and healthcare services. These insights are essential for developing targeted interventions and strategies.

For a more profound understanding of patient populations, our SDOH data can be seamlessly integrated with clinical and claims data, empowering researchers, healthcare providers, payors, pharma companies, and CROs to allocate resources more effectively and maximize the impact of their health initiatives.<br/><br/>Included sources:
