Time Walk Bike to Work

This table contains data on the percent of population aged 16 years or older whose commute to work is 10 or more minutes/day by walking or biking for California, its regions, counties, and cities/towns.  Data is from the U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey, and from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, and National Household Travel Survey. The table is part of a series of indicators in the Healthy Communities Data and Indicators Project of the Office of Health Equity.  Active modes of transport, bicycling and walking alone and in combination with public transit, offer opportunities to incorporate physical activity into the daily routine.  Physical activity is associated with lowering rates of heart disease and stroke, diabetes, colon and breast cancer, dementia and depression.  Automobile commuting is associated with health hazards, such as air pollution, motor vehicle crashes, pedestrian injuries and fatalities, and sedentary lifestyles. Consequently the transition from automobile-focused transport to public and active transport offers environmental health benefits, including reductions in air pollution, greenhouse gases and noise pollution, and may lead to greater overall safety in transportation.  More information about the data table and a data dictionary can be found in the About/Attachments section.

California Tobacco Retail Surveillance Study

This data table looks at tobacco advertisements that are likely to draw a child’s attention (e.g. advertisements below three feet, advertisements near candy). The California Tobacco Retail Surveillance Study (CTRSS), formerly the California Tobacco Advertising Survey (CTAS), is the longest-running tobacco marketing surveillance system in any state in the United States. The study assessed the availability, placement, and promotions of tobacco products in the retail setting. The study’s sample excluded tobacco retailers that require either club membership (e.g. Costco, golf courses) or had minimum-age restrictions (e.g. bars). Unusual retailer categories that were unlikely to display or advertise tobacco products, such as donut shops, were also excluded

Retailers that Sold Tobacco to Underage Youth and Young Adults

This dataset includes two data tables that contain the percentage of licensed tobacco retailers that sold tobacco to underage youth and young adults: (1) Tobacco Sold to Youth Under 18, and (2) Tobacco Sold to Young Adults Under 21. The California Youth Tobacco Survey (YTPS), conducted between 1997 and 2018, assessed the rate of illegal tobacco sales to youth under the age of 18. Due to California raising the minimum legal sales age for tobacco products from 18 to 21 years old, YTPS was replaced with the Synar Tobacco Purchase Survey (STPS) in 2019. STPS is an annual survey that assesses the rate of illegal tobacco sales to young adults under the age of 21 years of age. Both surveys were conducted in accordance with the California’s Stop Tobacco Access to Kids Enforcement Act (STAKE Act) and the federal Synar Amendment.

Top Five Major Diagnostic Categories (MDCs) for California Hospitals

The dataset contains counts for the Top Five inpatient diagnosis groups based on Major Diagnostic Categories (MDCs) from the Patient Discharge Data (PDD) for each California hospital. Each MDC corresponds to a major organ system (e.g., Respiratory System, Circulatory System, Digestive System) rather than a specific disease (e.g., cancer, sepsis). The MDCs are also generally associated with a particular medical specialty. Therefore, the MDCs can be used to help identify what types of health care specialists are needed at each facility. For instance, a facility with “Circulatory System, Disease and Disorders” as one of their Top Five MDC diagnosis groups is more likely to have a greater need for cardiac specialists. The data will be updated on an annual basis.

Trends in the Utilization and Mortality for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery in California Hospitals

CABG surgery, a major interventional procedure to treat coronary artery diseases, is the most common type of open-heart surgery and the costliest procedure in California. It is known that there are large disparities in the use of CABG procedures and outcomes by assigned sex at birth and by race/ethnicity. Understanding changes in CABG utilization and outcome by assigned sex at birth and race/ethnicity over time is important in the evaluation of hospital resources, regional health policy, quality improvement, and the promotion of health equity.

Transportation to Work

This table contains data on the percent of residents aged 16 years and older mode of transportation to work for California, its regions, counties, cities/towns, and census tracts. Data is from the U.S. Census Bureau, Decennial Census and American Community Survey. The table is part of a series of indicators in the Healthy Communities Data and Indicators Project of the Office of Health Equity.  Commute trips to work represent 19% of travel miles in the United States. The predominant mode – the automobile - offers extraordinary personal mobility and independence, but it is also associated with health hazards, such as air pollution, motor vehicle crashes, pedestrian injuries and fatalities, and sedentary lifestyles. Automobile commuting has been linked to stress-related health problems. Active modes of transport – bicycling and walking alone and in combination with public transit – offer opportunities for physical activity, which is associated with lowering rates of heart disease and stroke, diabetes, colon and breast cancer, dementia and depression. Risk of injury and death in collisions are higher in urban areas with more concentrated vehicle and pedestrian activity.  Bus and rail passengers have a lower risk of injury in collisions than motorcyclists, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Minority communities bear a disproportionate share of pedestrian-car fatalities; Native American male pedestrians experience four times the death rate Whites or Asian pedestrians, and African-Americans and Latinos experience twice the rate as Whites or Asians. More information about the data table and a data dictionary can be found in the About/Attachments section.

Unemployment

This table contains data on the percent of the population in the labor force who are unemployed (unemployment rate), for California, its regions, counties, county divisions, cities/towns, and census tracts. Data is from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS), Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and the  U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey (ACS). The table is part of a series of indicators in the Healthy Communities Data and Indicators Project of the Office of Health Equity. Unemployment is associated with higher rates of self-reported poor health, long-term illnesses, higher incidence of risky health behaviors (alcoholism, smoking), and increased mortality. Various explanations have been proposed for the link between poor health and unemployment; for example, economic deprivation that results in reduced access to essential goods and services.  Another explanation is that unemployment causes the loss of latent functions (social contact, social status, time structure and personal identity) which can result in stigma, isolation and loss of self-worth.

Vaccine Preventable Disease Cases by County and Year

These data contain counts of vaccine preventable disease cases among California residents by county, disease, and year.

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) maintains a mandatory, passive reporting system for a list1 of communicable disease cases and outbreaks. The CDPH Immunization Branch conducts surveillance for vaccine preventable diseases. Health care providers and laboratories are mandated to report cases or suspected cases of these communicable diseases to their local health department (LHD). LHDs are also mandated to report these cases to CDPH. 

## Materials and Methods 

### Case data sources and inclusion criteria 

Data were extracted on communicable disease cases with an estimated onset or diagnosis date from 2001 through the last year indicated, from California Confidential Morbidity Reports and/or Laboratory Reports that were submitted to CDPH and which met the surveillance case definition for that disease.2 Because of inherent delays in case reporting and depending on the length of follow-up of clinical, laboratory and epidemiologic investigation, cases with eligible onset dates may be added or rescinded after the date of this report. 

### Definitions 

In general, we defined a case as laboratory and/or clinical evidence of infection or disease in a person that satisfied the communicable disease surveillance case definition published by the United States (US) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or by the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) at the time the case was reported. 

## Limitations 

### Completeness of reporting 

The numbers of disease cases in this report are likely to underestimate the true magnitude of disease. Among factors that may contribute to under-reporting are: delays in notification, limited collection or appropriate testing of specimens, health care seeking behavior among ill persons, limited resources and competing priorities in LHDs, and lack of reporting by clinicians and laboratories. Among factors that may contribute to changes in reporting are disease severity, the availability of new or less expensive diagnostic tests, changes in the case definition by CDC or CDPH, changes in mandatory reporting requirements, recent media or public attention, and active surveillance activities. Differential reporting practices among LHDs may also result in inconsistent reporting of patient information.

Violent Crime Rate

This table contains data on the rate of violent crime (crimes per 1,000 population) for California, its regions, counties, cities and towns. Crime and population data are from the Federal Bureau of Investigations, Uniform Crime Reports. Rates above the city/town level include data from city, university and college, county, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies.  The table is part of a series of indicators in the Healthy Communities Data and Indicators Project of the Office of Health Equity. Ten percent of all deaths in young California adults aged 15-44 years are related to assault and homicide. In 2010, California law enforcement agencies reported 1,809 murders, 8,331 rapes, and over 95,000 aggravated assaults. African Americans in California are 11 times more likely to die of assault and homicide than Whites.

Voter Registration

This table contains data on the percent of adults (18 years or older) who are registered voters and the percent of adults who voted in general elections, for California, its regions, counties, cities/towns, and census tracts. Data is from the Statewide Database, University of California Berkeley Law, and the California Secretary of State, Elections Division. The table is part of a series of indicators in the [Healthy Communities Data and Indicators Project of the Office of Health Equity.](https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/OHE/Pages/HCI-Search.aspx) Political participation can be associated with the health of a community through two possible mechanisms: through the implementation of social policies or as an indirect measure of social capital. Disparities in political participation across socioeconomic groups can influence political outcomes and the resulting policies could have an impact on the opportunities available to the poor to live a healthy life. Lower representation of poorer voters could result in reductions of social programs aimed toward supporting disadvantaged groups. Although there is no direct evidentiary connection between voter registration or participation and health, there is evidence that populations with higher levels of political participation also have greater social capital. Social capital is defined as resources accessed by individuals or groups through social networks that provide a mutual benefit. Several studies have shown a positive association between social capital and lower mortality rates, and higher self- assessed health ratings. There is also evidence of a cycle where lower levels of political participation are associated with poor self-reported health, and poor self-reported health hinders political participation. More information about the data table and a data dictionary can be found in the About/Attachments section.
