Healthy Tampa Bay :: Community Dashboard

The colored gauge gives a visual representation of how your community is doing in comparison to other communities. The three-colored dial represents the distribution of values from the reporting regions (e.g. counties in the state) ordered from those doing the best to those doing the worst (sometimes lower values are better and in other cases higher values are better). From that distribution, the green represents the top 50th percentile, the yellow represents the 25th to 50th percentile, and the red represents the "worst" quartile.

This gauge shows whether the County: Pinellas value is increasing or decreasing over time. A green arrow means the value is improving and a red arrow means the value is getting worse. The = (equal) sign means that there is not a significant increase or decrease since the last measurement. A blue arrow means the value being higher (or lower) is not necessarily good or bad.

Why can I view maps for some indicators and not all indicators?
The dashboard contains maps for HCI-maintained indicators that show how your community is doing in comparison to other communities (green-yellow-red divided gauge), as shown below:

Maps are available for standard geographies (county, zip code and census tract). Some indicators may not have maps because:

The indicator data is locally-maintained. To identify who maintains the indicator, view the “Maintained By” field on the indicator detail page.
The indicator data is compared to a mean or median value; the gauge does not have distinct divisions, as shown below:
The indicator shows data for a non-standard geography. Custom geographies, such as special regions, service areas or subsets of zip codes, are not mapped.

Why are some values for counties and/or zip codes not available?
Certain values may not be available for a variety of reasons:

HCI only provides the values for counties, zip codes and census tracts where data is available on your site.
When there are only a small number of data values for a zip code or county (e.g., 10 deaths due to heart disease), data values are often not shown due to confidentiality and stability concerns. You will not see this data mapped or on your dashboard.
Zip codes change more often than indicator data is collected and reported. If the zip code at the time of data collection no longer exists, the data will not be mapped.

Why can’t I see zip code level data for all indicators?
Data collection at the zip code level is a resource intensive process; therefore, many data sources do not collect and report data at this level.

I have suggestions for future improvements. Where can I send them?

What is this Indicator?

This indicator shows the driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) arrest rate in arrests/100,000 population.

Why this is important:

Drivers with a blood alcohol content (BAC) above the national legal limit of 0.08% are guilty of driving under the influence. Motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver kill 32 people in the United States every day. The annual cost of alcohol-related crashes totals more than $51 billion. There is strong evidence supporting the effectiveness of sobriety checkpoints as a public health intervention to reduce the harms associated with impaired driving. In 2008, 11,773 people were killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for nearly one-third of all traffic-related deaths in the United States.

Technical Note: The distribution is based on data from 67 Florida counties.
