What the data shows in Maine
Across Maine's 16 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 disease burden, the leading driver of community health need in Maine.
The most widespread specific risk pattern is Respiratory Burden, triggered in 8 counties, followed by Industrial Burden in 5 counties.
Washington County carries the highest overall need in the state, with an opportunity score of 48 out of 100 (moderate). Higher scores mean more burden relative to the rest of the country.
