About the Data
This dashboard contains data from multiple data sources. The dashboard focuses on adults ages 50 and older, but the exact age ranges, denominators, and universes vary by data source and metric. The Asian American and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, Black, white, and “another or multiple races” groups are non-Hispanic. View the chart notes for additional details about each metric. For more information about our data sources and methods, see the technical appendix for the metrics you’re interested in:
