Q. What is the Healthy Places Index (HPI)?
A. The HPI tool evaluates the relationship between
23 identified key drivers of health and life
expectancy at birth — which can vary dramatically
by neighborhood. Based on that analysis, it
produces a score ranking from 1 to 99 that shows
the relative impact of conditions in a selected area
compared to all other such places in the state.
