Data Description
Self-reported health status offers an indicator of the overall health of North Carolina's population. This is a "Healthy Days" measure and a "Healthy North Carolina 2020 Indicator" that many stakeholders across the state find important.
Individuals with higher incomes or more education are more likely to report having good health. Among individuals with annual incomes between $50,000 and $75,000, 91.8% report having good health, whereas only 54.5% with incomes less than $15,000 report having good health. More than 93% of people with college educations report having good health, whereas only 61.6% of those without a high school diploma report having good health. Also, African Americans and Hispanics are less likely than Whites to report having good health.
