The 2024 Health Equity Index (formerly SocioNeeds Index), created by Conduent Healthy Communities Institute, is a measure of socioeconomic need that is correlated with poor health outcomes. The index is part of Conduent's SocioNeeds Index® Suite, which provides analytics around social determinants of health to advance equitable outcomes for a range of topics.
All zip codes, counties, and county equivalents in the United States are given an index value from 0 (low need) to 100 (high need). To help you find the areas of highest need in your community, the selected locations are ranked from 1 (low need) to 5 (high need) based on their index value relative to similar locations within the region.

Data Source
The Health Equity Index is calculated by Conduent Healthy Communities Institute using data from Claritas Pop-Facts®, 2024 and Claritas Consumer Profiles, 2023.
