Introduction to the IBIS-PH Choropleth Maps
This page provides access to local health district, county, and small area
choropleth data maps that are currently available through the IBIS-PH
query system. Choropleth maps provide graphical representations of map
areas which are shaded or patterned in proportion to the measurement of
the statistical variable. The values displayed on the map would be data
like population density or per-capita income. These maps provide an easy way to
visualize how a health-related measurement varies across a geographic area.
IBIS-PH provides many datasets with choropleth mapping.
Available choropleth data maps are listed below by dataset and include areas
defined by:
-

-
Small Area - Utah has 61 small areas. These areas are population-based
and often match ZIP code regions but may span ZIP code boundaries
or include multiple ZIP codes.
When you select a map it will take you to the query system and give you filter
options to customize the dataset used for your map.
