Introduction to the IBIS-PH Choropleth Maps

This page provides access to local health district, county, and Utah Small Area choropleth data maps that are currently available through the IBIS-PH query system. Choropleth maps provide graphical representations of map areas which are shaded or patterned in proportion to the measurement of the statistical variable. The values displayed on the map would be data like population density or per-capita income. It provides an easy way to visualize how a health related measurement varies across a geographic area. IBIS-PH provides many datasets with choropleth mapping.

Available choropleth data maps include areas defined by:

• Local Health District - Utah has broken the state into twelve areas. These areas typically include several counties and are population based.
• County
• Utah Small Area - Utah has over 60 Small Areas. These areas are population based and often match ZIP Code regions but may span ZIP Code boundaries or include multiple ZIP Codes.
