MAIN MAPS

None - This option does not display any main maps, which may be helpful when viewing some Optional Layers and additional Backgrounds

Grantee Dominance by ZCTA, 2010 - (Data from UDS reporting year 2010; prepared by John Snow, Inc.) This map colors a ZIP Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA) if it has 11 or more patients served exclusively by at least one Section 330 grantee. The color is determined by the grantee (each grantee is assigned its own color) that serves the most patients who live in that ZCTA.

All Grantee Penetration of Low Income Population - (Data from UDS reporting year 2010, and American Community Survey (ACS) 2005-2009 five-year estimates for Block Groups and Tracts, aggregated to 2010 ZCTA geography; prepared by John Snow, Inc.) This map displays the percent of low-income population (at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level) served by a Section 330 grantee (from Section 330 grantees reporting 11 or more patients in that ZCTA) in the given ZCTA. In other words, for each ZCTA the total number of Section 330 patients from 2010 is divided by the number of low-income residents. Lighter shaded ZCTAs therefore are estimated to have a larger share of low-income residents that do not utilize services provided by Section 330 grantees, but may be served by other types of providers. Because of the process used to capture 2005-2009 income information (denominator) at the ZCTA level (approach defined here), and because income is not reported in the UDS at the ZIP Code level, this measure is only an estimation and should be interpreted as such.

All Grantee Penetration of Total Population - (Data from UDS reporting year 2010, and Census 2010; prepared by John Snow, Inc.) This map displays the percent of the total residents served by a Section 330 grantee (from Section 330 grantees reporting 11 or more patients in that ZCTA) in the given ZCTA. In other words, for each ZCTA the total number of patients is divided by the total number of residents. Lighter shaded ZCTAs therefore are believed to have a larger share of residents that do not utilize services provided by Section 330 grantees, but may be served by other types of providers. Because of the process used to capture 2010 population data at the ZCTA level (approach defined here), this measure is only an estimation and should be interpreted as such.

Low Income Not Served by Grantees - (Data from UDS reporting year 2010, and American Community Survey (ACS) 2005-2009 five-year estimates for Block Groups and Tracts, aggregated to 2010 ZCTA geography; prepared by John Snow, Inc.) This map displays the estimated number of low-income residents in the given ZCTA that are not served by any Section 330 grantees. The number is calculated by subtracting the number of total Section 330 grantee patients reported in the UDS for that ZCTA (from all grantees with 11 or more patients residing in that ZCTA) from the number of low-income (at/below 200% FPL) residents in that same ZCTA. Because of the process used to capture 2005-2009 income information at the ZCTA level (approach defined here), and because income is not reported in the UDS at the ZIP Code level, this measure is only an estimation and should be interpreted as such.

Low Income Not Served by Grantees (Dot Density) - (Data from UDS reporting year 2010, and American Community Survey (ACS) 2005-2009 five-year estimates for Block Groups and Tracts, aggregated to 2010 ZCTA geography; prepared by John Snow, Inc.) This map displays the estimated number of low-income residents in the given ZCTA that are not served by any Section 330 grantees (1 dot = 100 people randomly placed in the ZCTA). The number is calculated by subtracting the number of total Section 330 grantee patients reported in the UDS for that ZCTA (from all grantees with 11 or more patients residing in that ZCTA) from the number of low-income (at/below 200% FPL) residents in that same ZCTA. Because of the process used to capture 2005-2009 income information at the ZCTA level (approach defined here), and because income is not reported in the UDS at the ZIP Code level, this measure is only an estimation and should be interpreted as such.

# of Grantees Serving ZCTA, 2010 - (Data from UDS reporting year 2010; prepared by John Snow, Inc.) This map displays the number of Section 330 grantees (not the number of sites) serving 11 or more patients in the given ZCTA.

2008-2010 (2-Year) % Change in Patients - (Data from UDS reporting years 2008 and 2010; prepared by John Snow, Inc.) This map displays the percent change in the current reporting year's (2010) reported Section 330 patients (from all Section 330 grantees reporting 11 or more patients in that ZCTA) from two years earlier (2008). ZCTAs are not shaded at all if they had zero reported Section 330 patients in both reporting years 2008 and 2010- even if there were patients in 2009. JSI recalculated prior year data to match the 2010 ZCTA definitions to permit comparability, and therefore patient numbers may not match those reported in prior years which were based on 2000 ZCTA definitions.

2009-2010 (1-Year) % Change in Patients - (Data from UDS reporting years 2009 and 2010; prepared by John Snow, Inc.) This map displays the percent change in the current reporting year's (2010) reported Section 330 patients (from all Section 330 grantees reporting 11 or more patients in that ZCTA) from the previous reporting year (2009) in the given ZCTA. ZCTAs are not shaded at all if they had zero reported Section 330 patients in both reporting years 2009 and 2010. JSI recalculated prior year data to match the 2010 ZCTA definitions to permit comparability, and therefore patient numbers may not match those reported in prior years which were based on 2000 ZCTA definitions.

% Poverty (Pop at/below 100% FPL), 05-09 (est.) - (Data from American Community Survey (ACS) 2005-2009 five-year estimates for Block Groups and Tracts, aggregated to 2010 ZCTA geography; prepared by John Snow, Inc.) This map displays the percentage of the total population that lives at/below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) in the given ZCTA.

% Low-Income (Pop at/below 200% FPL), 05-09 (est.) - (Data from American Community Survey (ACS) 2005-2009 five-year estimates for Block Groups and Tracts, aggregated to 2010 ZCTA geography; prepared by John Snow, Inc.) This map displays the percentage of the total population that lives at/below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) (otherwise known as the 'low-income' population) in the given ZCTA.

% Non-White, 2010 - (Data from Census 2010; prepared by John Snow, Inc.) This map displays the percentage of the total population self-identified as Non-White in the given ZCTA.

% Hispanic, 2010 - (Data from Census 2010; prepared by John Snow, Inc.) This map displays the percentage of the total population self-identified as Hispanic in the given ZCTA.

Unserved (by Grantees) Low Income - (Data from UDS reporting year 2010, and American Community Survey (ACS) 2005-2009 five-year estimates for Block Groups and Tracts, aggregated to 2010 ZCTA geography; prepared by John Snow, Inc.) Field provides the estimated number of low-income residents in the given ZCTA that are not served by any Section 330 grantees. The number is calculated by subtracting the number of total Section 330 grantee patients reported in the UDS for that ZCTA (from all grantees with 11 or more patients residing in that ZCTA) from the number of low-income (at/below 200% FPL) residents in that same ZCTA. Because of the process used to capture 2005-2009 income information at the ZCTA level (approach defined here), and because income is not reported in the UDS at the ZIP Code level, this measure is only an estimation and should be interpreted as such.

Penetration of Low Income - (Data from UDS reporting year 2010, and American Community Survey (ACS) 2005-2009 five-year estimates for Block Groups and Tracts, aggregated to 2010 ZCTA geography; prepared by John Snow, Inc.) Field provides the percent of low-income population (at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level) served by a Section 330 grantee (from Section 330 grantees reporting 11 or more patients in that ZCTA) in the given ZCTA. In other words, for each ZCTA the total number of Section 330 patients from 2010 is divided by the number of low-income residents. ZCTAs with lower percentages therefore are estimated to have a larger share of low-income residents that do not utilize services provided by Section 330 grantees, but may be served by other types of providers. Because of the process used to capture 2005-2009 income information (denominator) at the ZCTA level (approach defined here), and because income is not reported in the UDS at the ZIP Code level, this measure is only an estimation and should be interpreted as such.

In other words, for each ZCTA the total number of patients is divided by the number of total residents. ZCTAs with lower percentages therefore are believed to have a larger share of residents that do not utilize services provided by Section 330 grantees, but may be served by other types of providers. Because of the process used to capture 2010 population data at the ZCTA level (approach defined here), this measure is only an estimation and should be interpreted as such.

Field provides percent of the total residents served by a Section 330 grantee (from Section 330 grantees reporting 11 or more patients in that ZCTA) in the given ZCTA. In other words, for each ZCTA the total number of patients is divided by the total number of residents. ZCTAs with lower percentages therefore are believed to have a larger share of residents that do not utilize services provided by Section 330 grantees, but may be served by other types of providers. Because of the process used to capture 2010 population data at the ZCTA level (approach defined here), this measure is only an estimation and should be interpreted as such.

All Grantee Penetration of Low Income - (Data from UDS reporting year 2010, and American Community Survey (ACS) 2005-2009 five-year estimates for Block Groups and Tracts, aggregated to 2010 ZCTA geography; prepared by John Snow, Inc.) Field provides the percent of low-income population (at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level) served by a Section 330 grantee (from Section 330 grantees reporting 11 or more patients in that ZCTA) in the given ZCTA. In other words, for each ZCTA the total number of Section 330 patients from 2010 is divided by the number of low-income residents. ZCTAs with lower percentages therefore are estimated to have a larger share of low-income residents that do not utilize services provided by Section 330 grantees, but may be served by other types of providers.
