If you want to look up community rankings on selected healthcare areas this may be the place for you.  I can see this being useful for students for one in having to write reports for school and other businesses looking for community health data that could be relative to their own business efforts.  If as a developer you might feel there’s a burning desire for a program to help interpret and work with community data, there’s an API for that too.  They did put a bit of extra information out there for developers too with SOAP methodologies and it looks like it has some dot net technologies in here without looking closer.

Be patient if you are looking up data as these are some big queries so allow time to search.  I looked up infectious disease and there are many subtitles to narrow it down.

I looked up rabies and there was no national data yet, but I guess as time goes on there will as there’s an explanation page that tells how the data is or will be collected.  Again, the average consumer more than likely won’t be venturing over here very often and I see it as more for research for community information that may be needed.  BD
