The Institute has used a specific model since 2003 to evaluate the health of each county in each state nationwide. This model weighs the county's programs and policies, health factors and health outcomes to come up with a final ranking. These categories include:
- Physical environment - Environmental quality and built environment
- Social and economic factors - Education, employment, income, family & social support, community safety
- Clinical care - Access to care, quality of care
- Health behaviors - Tobacco use, diet & exercise, alcohol use and unsafe sex
- Morbidity (quality of life)
- Mortality (length of life)
