This repository is a work in progress. It contains code and data to replicate some measures for the County Health Rankings & Roadmaps annual data release.

complete_datasets/– Finalized datasets formatted for our website. These datasets are structured for human readability.- This folder contains year-specific subfolders, each holding the finalized datasets for that year's release.
-
dictionaries_and_documentation/– Data dictionaries, technical notes, and other documentation to support understanding and use of the data.- This folder contains year-specific subfolders, each holding the documentation for that year's release.
-
relational_datasets/– Relational hierarchy of measure metadata. Most useful for analysts interested in exploring measure weights, definitions, and model position.- This folder contains year-specific subfolders, each holding the relational data for that year's release.
-
inputs/– Standardized reference files used across multiple measures (e.g., crosswalks, FIPS codes).- Currently available only for the 2025 and partially for the 2026 release. This folder is not organized by year.
-
measure_datasets/– Intermediate datasets with calculated values for specific health measures.- Currently available only for the 2025 and partially for the 2026 release. This folder is not organized by year.
-
raw_data/– Original, unprocessed data files from source systems or data providers.- Currently available only for the 2025 and partially for the 2026 release. This folder is organized by data source. It is not organized by year.
- Note: Some raw data are not included if they are not publicly available.
-
scripts/– R scripts (.qmd,.Rmd) and some SAS files for data cleaning, calculation, and formatting of measures.- Currently available only for the 2025 and partially for the 2026 release. This folder is not organized by year.
We recommend using the haven R package to read .sas7bdat files in R.
If you prefer data or calculations in a different format, are looking for a specific measure not yet included, or have questions, please reach out via the Discussions tab.
