Behind the County Health Rankings: What makes a community healthy or unhealthy? What happens in a hospital or a doctor's office is only a small piece of the puzzle. The County Health Rankings pull together a wide array of data - on clinical care, healthy behaviors, social factors, economic factors and the physical environment - to assess the health of counties across the country. The Rankings help communities understand what influences both how well and how long we live our lives - and the opportunities we have to come together and build a culture of health.
