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?Please submit suggestions through the Send Feedback link.

What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the percentage of children living in single-parent family households (with a male or female householder and no spouse present) out of all children living in family households. |
| Why this is important: Adults and children in single-parent households are at a higher risk for adverse health effects, such as emotional and behavioral problems, compared to their peers. Children in such households are more likely to develop depression, smoke, and abuse alcohol and other substances. Consequently, these children experience increased risk of morbidity and mortality of all causes. Similarly, single parents suffer from lower perceived health and higher risk of mortality. |
| Technical Note: The distribution is based on data from 3,141 U.S. counties and county equivalents. |
