Click any county to see its share of residents 65 and older, which local health district serves it, and what that means for fall risk as the season turns. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute, and the Utah Department of Health and Human Services.
Each county is shaded by its share of residents aged 65 and older — the single clearest population-level predictor of local fall risk, since fall hospitalization rates rise sharply with age statewide. That figure comes from the U.S. Census Bureau and Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute's most recent county age estimates. We paired it with each county's local health district, since Utah's 13 health districts are where fall-related hospitalization and mortality data is officially tracked. Utah's statewide fall injury figures come from the Utah Department of Health and Human Services' IBIS-PH indicator system.
