CHIS Interactive Mapping
This
part of the CHIS contains maps that allow you to identify
your geographic area of interest and obtain statistics
on the population and health-related characteristics
of that area. The categories of data currently available
are listed below. We are constantly adding to these
data sets, and we hope you will visit our site frequently
to see what is new.
