Statewide, the health-risk area scoring highest on average is gaps in provider access, the leading driver of community health need in Nebraska.

The most widespread specific risk pattern is Runoff Burden, triggered in 42 counties, followed by Industrial Burden in 13 counties.

Sioux County carries the highest overall need in the state, with an opportunity score of 70 out of 100 (high). Higher scores mean more burden relative to the rest of the country.
