The Health Indicators Warehouse is a collection of health indicators from a wide array of HHS data sources that are maintained to support researchers, technology developers and policymakers in the development of applications and data services. Health indicators are measurable characteristics that describe the health of a population; determinants of health; and healthcare access, cost, quality and use.
Depending on the measure, a health indicator may be defined for a specific population, place, political jurisdiction or geographic area. Currently, the Health Indicators Warehouse includes nearly 1,200 health indicators derived from over 170 different data sources. All health indicators are downloadable via APIs.
