Health statistics are increasingly important in measuring the nation’s overall well-being. The Census Bureau provides accurate, detailed and up-to-date statistics—covering people and business—relating to health in America.
We produce statistics on the prevalence of disability and fertility, the percentages of people with and without health insurance—even down to the county level through Small Area Health Insurance Estimates (SAHIE), and the expenses and investments made by health care establishments. We even collect data on international HIV/AIDS and health care access for other agencies.
Our sources for demographic statistics include the American Community Survey (ACS), the Current Population Survey (CPS), and the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). For economic statistics, sources include County Business Patterns, Nonemployer Statistics, the Economic Census, the Service Annual Survey, and Statistics of U.S. Businesses.
