Oregon State Health Indicators
VIEW MAPS: 2011 - 2015 | 2009 - 2013
These maps display three state health indicators. They were created in response to a growing demand for health indicator data at the county and census tract levels. To protect Oregonian's confidentiality and ensure data reliability, five years of data were combined for the following three health indicators:
- Low birthweight (all ages)
- Initiation of first trimester prenatal care (all ages), and
- Teen pregnancy (ages 15-17).
Data source: Birth records compiled by the Oregon Center for Health Statistics

Tips for using data maps
- We recommend maximizing your browser window and using Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome to view the maps.
- Allow a few moments for the maps to load.
- Once the maps have loaded, use the tabs across the top to view individual maps.
- You can click on an individual county to open a pop-up window with detailed data for that county.
- Zoom in to access census tracts or ZIP codes. If you select a county, you can click Zoom to at the bottom of the pop-up window to zoom in to that county.
Use the zoom tool to zoom in or out, or to return to the "home" view.
NOTE: Census tract and ZIP code-level
maps are only as accurate as the address information provided on the
birth certificate. At least 95 percent of births recorded in Oregon
contain sufficiently accurate address information to be geocoded at the
level of residential address or street. For border counties, where
residents regularly give birth in neighboring states, the accuracy of
residential address information is dependent on that state's data
collection procedures.
