Community-Level — All Stays

Community-Level Statistics (CLS) are from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP), State Inpatient Databases (SID), based on data collected by individual States and provided to AHRQ by State Partners. Statistics are aggregated to the patient residence (county, substate region, and State).  Weighted national estimates are from the HCUP National (Nationwide) Inpatient Sample (NIS). For more information, see “Calculating Community-Level Statistics for HCUPnet: Methods” PDF.

Querying a single year will produce smaller cell sizes and generally more cell suppression than querying a three-year period. Similarly, county queries will produce smaller cell sizes and more cell suppression than region queries, because a region generally comprises multiple counties.
