The California Healthy Places Index 3.0 data file was acquired on 04/25/22 from the Public Health Institute on behalf of the Public Health Alliance of Southern California.

According to the Public Health Institute, "The HPI tool evaluates the relationship between 23 identified key drivers of health and life expectancy at birth -- which can vary dramatically by neighborhood. Based on that analysis, it produces a score ranking from 1 to 99 that shows the relative impact of conditions in a selected area compared to all other such places in the state." The HPI score is divided across four quartiles. (The Enhanced HPI 3.0: Advancing Health Equity Through High-Quality Data)

Potential indicators assigned to eight policy action areas (domains):

1. Economics

2. Education

3. Healthcare access

4. Housing

5. Neighborhood Conditions

6. Clean Environment

7. Social Environment

8. Transportation

An HPI score, domains, and individual indicator values and their percentile rankings are presented in the table.
