NCHPH Interactive Maps Tutorial
This tutorial will help you to navigate through our interactive maps and find the information you are looking for.
2020 City Health Behaviors and Outcomes
This map contains data from the CDC’s PLACES Project, formerly known as the 500 Cities Project, and overlaps them with the location of Health Centers and Public Housing Authorities. It provides city- and census tract-level small area estimates for chronic disease risk factors, health outcomes, and clinical preventive services use for the largest 500 cities in the United States. These small area estimates allow cities and health centers to better understand the burden and geographic distribution of health-related variables in their jurisdictions and assist them in planning public health interventions.
2020 Diabetes Map
This map shows different trends in diabetes in public housing such as locations of adults with no activity, obesity rates, etc.
Diabetes in Public Housing Primary Care
Residents of public housing are particularly at risk for developing diabetes and diabetes-related complications due to the many social factors that impact their health. Currently, diabetes prevalence and rates of uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c>9) remains high for patients at Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC) centers. Click on the interactive map to see how the diabetes data at PHPCs compares to the rates of diabetes at the county level.
Jobs Plus and Health Centers
This map shows the location of Health Centers and Jobs Plus sites. The place-based Jobs Plus Initiative program addresses poverty among public housing residents by incentivizing and enabling employment. For Health Centers interested in partnering with Jobs Plus sites, visit this NCHPH resource and hover over the organization you want to partner with. The contact information will then be displayed.
Health Behaviors and Public Housing

PHPC Grantees and Associated Clinics
There are currently 108 Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC) grantees. This map shows the location of the PHPC and all of the associated clinic sites.
PHPC Environmental Hazards
Responding to a natural disaster can always be improved and more effective when the right preparedness measures are taken in advance. The purpose of this map by the National Center for Health in Public Housing is to provide support to Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC) health centers on how to identify different types of natural disasters that can impact the vulnerable populations they serve based on their geographic region to better prepare for a natural disaster in advance by collaborating with public housing agencies. This map depicts public housing buildings with nearby health centers and a variety of types of disasters such as hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes, and other natural disasters to prepare for in case of an emergency. Additionally, with this map, health centers can assess their county’s risk of a natural disaster and resilience measures.
Socioeconomic Health Factors and Public Housing
Social and economic factors are strong drivers of how well we live. Across the U.S., people who live in the bottom performance counties face higher rates of unemployment, lower rates of high school graduation and lower median household incomes. This map shows the high and low performers by county and the location of PHPC grantees.
