Populations and Vulnerabilities
Populations and Vulnerabiltities Indicators
The Tracking Network uses several national sources, including federal agencies, to obtain state and local data about population characteristics. This information is based on populations as a whole rather than individual members of a particular population. Therefore, individual health risk factors are not included in this information.

This indicator includes data on number and percent of people uninsured; number and percent of people over age 5 years with a disability; and percent of population diagnosed with diabetes. Data are presented at Census tract, county, and/or state level for all states.
