Trends in Key Health Indicators

North Carolina Statewide and County

For each county in North Carolina, the State Center for Health Statistics has produced 24 graphs representing trends in key health indicators at both the county and state levels over approximately the past 15 years. In order to ensure a fair degree of stability in rates and trends when annual numbers for a county may be relatively small, several years of data have been aggregated for an average of each indicator, resulting in three data points for each indicator.
