The 2023 County Health Rankings National Findings report from County Health Rankings & Roadmaps examines the connection between civic health and thriving people and places.
From the introduction: "Our civic health must be nurtured. Intentional investments in civic spaces that foster inclusive participation can have a positive impact on health equity. On the other hand, neglect or deliberate exclusion is detrimental to civic health and our opportunity to thrive. Our civic health depends on the decisions we make—whether we are an elected official or a local volunteer—to cultivate community conditions where everyone is welcome, lives with dignity, and thrives."
In addition to the report, this map examines health rankings by county in Iowa.
