Zone Maps Map with Zones The following Geographic Information System (GIS) maps show each key BRFS measure according to its distribution across ten geographic zones in. These zones are formed by combining one or more postal ZIP codes in. Some zones consist a single ZIP code while others have as many as eight. Each survey respondent is assigned to one the ten zones according to their reported residential ZIP code. The map on the following page displays the geographic area each zone, the specific ZIP code(s) it, the number BRFS survey respondents in each zone.

For each key measure, there is a map that indicates the proportion survey respondents who reported that measure in each the ten zones. The division the data into breaks by zone was done using the Jenks Natural Breaks Method. The breaks are indicated by the color the zone. Darker colors indicate a zone s proportion is worse than lighter colored zones. White diagonal lines in a zone indicate that the zone s proportion for that measure is worse than the comparable measure for Michigan. Not all maps have a corresponding MI measure. Health Status Indicators 2) Centers for Disease Control Prevention Based Maps: For those BRFS measures that have maps created by the CDC indicating which U.S. states fare better or worse, there is also a corresponding map. These maps compare Ottawa County s ten zones according to the same breaks used nationally by the CDC in their U.S. maps. In general, darker colors indicate a zone s proportion is worse than lighter colored zones. The exceptions are 3 maps marked with a red star where the darkest color is best lightest color is worst. White diagonal lines in a zone indicate that the zone s proportion for that measure is worse than the comparable measure for Michigan. Since the total number respondents residing in each zone can range from as low as 43 to as high as 250, the cited proportion a zone may have a wide error interval. It is best to use these maps directionally instead predictively. Carl Frost Center for Social Science Research 7 2
