County Health Rankings: 2010 North Carolina <br />The Rankings <br />This report ranks North Carolina counties according to <br />their summary measures of health outcomes and <br />health factors, as well as the components used to <br />create each summary measure. The figure below depicts <br />the structure of the Rankings model. Counties receive a <br />rank for each population health component; those having <br />high ranks (e.g., 1 or 2) are estimated to be the <br />"healthiest." <br />Our summary health outcomes rankings are based on <br />an equal weighting of mortality and morbidity measures. <br />The summary health factors rankings are based on <br />weighted scores of four types of factors: behavioral, <br />clinical, social and economic, and environmental. The <br />weights for the factors (shown in parentheses in the <br />figure) are based upon a review of the literature and <br />expert input, but represent just one way of combining <br />these factors. <br />Mortality (length of life) 5D°% <br />Morbidity (quality of life] 50°ib <br />Tobacco use <br />~Iet 8ceXBfGISe <br />z t-leatth behaviors <br />i Hlcohol use-. <br />Unsafe sex `` <br /> <br />Access to care <br />~ .
