Public health statistics

Local public health reports & programs highlight disparities (asthma, chronic disease, social determinants). For neighborhood-level health outcomes, Guilford County & local hospital assessments are authoritative.

Asthma & housing-related illness
Greensboro has been the focus of asthma housing work (high childhood asthma rates in certain neighborhoods; community teams targeting housing triggers in low-income neighborhoods).
County health profile
Guilford County's Community Health Assessment (2023–2024) provides county-level indicators on chronic disease, behavioral health, environment, and access to care; neighborhood tracts in SE Greensboro show higher needs.
Access to care
Some neighborhoods face barriers: fewer nearby primary care options, transportation barriers to clinics, and higher reliance on means-tested programs.
