Health of Older Adults in King County Chart Pack: A new data resource that sheds light on the health, well-being, needs, and strengths of older residents in our community. This chart pack offers a comprehensive overview of how local older adults are doing across indicators of social determinants of health, health care access, chronic disease, and end-of-life outcomes.
Empowering Through Data: A Closer Look at Black Community Health: In 2020, King County declared racism a public health crisis, highlighting its harmful impact on the health of Black residents. However, there was no centralized source for Black community health data. Communities Count collaborated with the Black Community Equity Team and Black Providers Network to develop an infographic tailored to the needs of the Black community. This resource aims to make health information accessible, engaging, and impactful for both community members and partners.
Education and employment rates among King County residents grow, but inequities persist: King County has seen improvements in education, employment, and income over the past decade but these trends do not impact all communities equally. Persistent disparities remain for several racial and ethnic groups, English Learners, and students experiencing homelessness. This blog looks at what the latest data tells us about how systemic inequities impact access to opportunity even with overall regional growth.
In partnership with Communities of Opportunity, Communities Count is offering free data and evaluation workshops for community based organizations in King County.
