What the data shows in Colorado

Across Colorado's 64 counties, none have two or more of the four health-risk areas (environmental, disease, provider access, and social conditions) above the national threshold at once. Where need shows up here, it tends to be concentrated in a single area rather than stacking.

Statewide, the health-risk area scoring highest on average is social and economic conditions, the leading driver of community health need in Colorado.

The most widespread specific risk pattern is Respiratory Burden, triggered in 5 counties, followed by Smoke Burden in 4 counties.

Baca County carries the highest overall need in the state, with an opportunity score of 62 out of 100 (elevated). Higher scores mean more burden relative to the rest of the country.
