This site gives open access to the US Department of Health and Human Services Community Health Status Indicators database . Output formats include sortable tables, scatter plots, and blot maps. Additionally, a JSON API is provided for developers.

The scatter plots are a great way to look for overall trends and correlations among health parameters. Use the blot maps to look for geographic trends in health data and to see how your county compares with neighboring counties.
