Community Health Status Assessment Overview
The Community Health Status Assessment (CHSA) answers the question “how healthy is the community?” Indicators selected during the 2015 assessment process were updated with most recently available data, with a few indicators added to further inform Lane County’s progress on 2016-2019 CHIP initiatives. An executive summary of the assessment will be available soon.
Overall, Lane County remains a moderately healthy community with well-educated and active residents. The
2019 County Health Rankings and Roadmap ranks Lane County 11th out of 35 counties (up from 16th in 2015) for overall health and quality of life. Although good health outcomes and health behaviors are prominent in Lane County, many gaps remain to be addressed. As with the rest of the nation, health status in Lane County is tied to a number of social and environmental factors including income, poverty, race/ethnicity and geographic location.
