All of the aforementioned have an impact on the community’s health. Therefore, information from a variety of sources are
also included to provide a comprehensive picture of health and well-being on the Peninsula. The findings show that HPHD
is a large and diverse region with complex health needs. However, they also show that our region has substantial health
assets and a community committed to working together for population health improvement.
Please note that this summary report presents a high-level overview of the assessment results. For additional

ABOUT THE DATA
Quantitative: To develop a complete picture of the health and well-being of HPHD, existing data were drawn from
national, state and local sources. Sources of data included, but were not limited to, the U.S. Census, County Health
Rankings, Healthy People 2020 and Greater Hampton Roads Community Indicators Dashboard. Types of data include
self-report of health behaviors from large, population-based surveys such as the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance
System (BRFSS) and public health disease surveillance data. Survey data collected between December, 2021 - February,
2022 is included in this report. To view all survey data results (19,230 responses) go to

Qualitative: In January, 2022, equity focus groups were conducted by a regional DEI collaborative, VOICES, to gauge
their perceptions of the health of the community, their primary health concerns, and what external factors may be affecting
their health.
County Health Rankings and Roadmaps, a collaboration
between the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute
and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, are widely used by
communities interested in developing health improvement
strategies. The rankings show a wide range of factors that influence
our overall health, with medical care accounting for 20% and health
behaviors, social, and economic factors accounting for 80%. [1]
As shown in Exhibit 2, James City County, Poquoson,
Williamsburg, and York County most commonly rank in the top
quartile (25 percent) among 133 Virginia cities and counties.
Hampton and Newport News rank primarily in the third quartile on
the ranked indicators, with Newport News ranking in the last
quartile for social and economic factors. The County Health
Rankings and Roadmaps provide a good starting point for
understanding community health, but the rankings have some
technical limitations, and they do not fully capture the diversity of
health needs within each city and county.
