2016 Lake County Community Need Profile

About Community Needs Index:

The Community Needs Index (CNI) was developed by Dignity Health and Truven Health Analytics to indicate community health care needs based on socio-economic factors. The CNI generates a score to determine areas with the highest need with a scale ranging from 1.0 to 5.0. A score of 1.0 indicates a zip code with the least need, while a score of 5.0 represents a zip code with the most need. The CNI score is derived by taking an average of the five barrier scores. The barriers and statistics that comprised the score are indicated below.

Income Barrier

  • Percentage of households below poverty line, with head of household age 65 or older
  • Percentage of families with children under 18 below the poverty line
  • Percentage of single, female-headed families with children under age 18 below poverty line
