Indicators of Health Opportunity
The conditions in which we live and the impact of “place” (e.g. school, church, neighborhood, etc.) on health is
fundamental to the social determinants of health. Considering these social indicators of health opportunity is another way
to examine community health. As shown in Exhibit 3, a substantial number of local residents may face challenges in
achieving or sustaining optimal health due to personal, social, and economic factors such as advanced age, low income,
low education, lack of insurance, or other factors that influence health. We recognize that these health factors are not
definitive predictors of health status, but these factors do place many individuals at elevated risk for health challenges.
The following information provides a snapshot of several factors that may influence the health of our region.

The population in our planning district has increased by 8.0% since 2010, which is similar to the population growth of the
State. The Greater Williamsburg area, which includes James City County, York County, and the City of Williamsburg, had
the highest percentage change overall, while the population in Hampton has decreased slightly over the past ten years.
The population of Newport News has experienced minor growth as opposed to 2019, when the city had somewhat
decreased since 2010. Additionally, Poquoson has also experienced an increase in population growth compared to 2019.
The racial composition of our population continues to grow in its diversity and we are also experiencing growth in our
aging population, which comes with its own share of health concerns including an increase in chronic disease. According
to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “6 in 10 adults in the U.S. have a chronic disease and 4 in 10
adults in the U.S. have two or more”.[2]
