Methodology

Data Source:  View help for Data Source
  • The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) was used to identify organizations that can be considered health care services. 
  • Establishment data was taken from the National Establishment Time Series (NETS) database. 
  • Census tracts for establishments, as well as land area per tract, were determined using the 2010 version of the US TIGER/Line shapefiles. 
  • Population figures and tract land areas were obtained from two NaNDA datasets: Neighborhood Socioeconomic and Demographic Characteristics of Census Tracts, United States, 2000-2010 (https://www.openicpsr.org/openicpsr/project/111107/) and Socioeconomic Status and Demographic Characteristics of Census Tracts, United States, 2008-2017 (https://www.openicpsr.org/openicpsr/project/119451/).
