DALLAS — A new report from the Parkland Health and Hospital System has revealed some stark facts about how your quality of health is tied to where you live.
The report found that African Americans who live in the southern part of Dallas are the most likely people in the county to be unhealthy. It also found that group of people has the least access to care.
The above graphic shows a map of the different zip codes in the county with each's overall health ratings, with the darker the shade meaning the more unhealthy the area is.
The zip codes with the biggest needs are:
- 75210
- 75215
- 75216
- 75217
- 75241
Officials with the Dallas County Health Department said they are developing a comprehensive plan to address those deficits. They expect it to be finished by January.
