This tool was developed by County Health Rankings & Roadmaps as a way to allow users to more actively engage with their own data. The goals of this tool are to give users an easy-to-use template for calculating the same mortality metrics we use on our website, and to give advanced users a template for how to complete the background calculations needed for life expectancy.
The Rankings are based on a model of population health that emphasizes the many factors that, if improved, can help make communities healthier places to live, learn, work and play.
