FAQ

Where does Mubboo's health data come from?

Our health metrics come from the CDC PLACES dataset, which provides model-based estimates for chronic disease measures at the ZIP code level. Hospital data comes from CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services), and community health center locations from HRSA.

How often is health data updated?

CDC PLACES releases annual updates, typically reflecting data from 2-3 years prior. CMS hospital data is updated quarterly. We refresh our database when new releases become available.

What health measures are tracked?

We track 27+ measures across three categories: health outcomes (obesity, diabetes, heart disease), health behaviors (smoking, physical inactivity), and preventive services (health insurance coverage, routine checkups).

Can I compare health data between ZIP codes?

Yes — enter any ZIP code in the search box above to see detailed health metrics for that area. Each ZIP code page shows how local rates compare to state and national averages.

What does a high obesity rate mean for my area?

A high obesity rate indicates a greater prevalence of obesity among adults in that ZIP code. This can correlate with higher rates of diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic conditions. However, rates reflect population-level estimates and may not apply to any individual.

Data sourced from CDC PLACES (Local Data for Better Health), CMS Hospital Compare, and HRSA Health Center Finder. CDC PLACES updates annually; Mubboo refreshes the dataset when each release is published. See our full methodology →
