Sheridan Rd ● Peoria, Illinois 61604 ● 309.679.6000 Table of Contents Community Demographics 1 Population, Gender, Age, Race, Ethnicity Health Outcomes 2-6 Leading Causes of Death (mortality) 2 Disease (morbidity) Cardiovascular Disease, Cholesterol, & Hypertension 3 Cancer 4 Diabetes 5 Respiratory Disease, COPD, & Asthma 6 Health Behavior 7-10 Tobacco Use & Exposure 7 Healthy Weight: Obesity & Physical Activity 8 Maternal & Child Health 9 Sexually Transmitted Infections 10 Social & Economic Factors 11 Employment, Income, Education, Family & Social Support, Community Safety Data Sources 12 Introduction The Peoria County Community Health Indicator Report provides health status information on various population health indicators within the county. The Report examines the leading causes of death, morbidity, health risk and protective factors, maternal and child health, and both general and socioeconomic demographics. It seeks to compare the status of Peoria County's population health with that of Illinois and the United States. The measures within the Report are meant to demonstrate how health is multidimensional and related not only to disease, but behavior and economic factors within a community. Community Demographics: Peoria County Peoria County is located in central Illinois, along the Illinois River. While much of the County is rural, the majority of the population resides within 50 square miles of the City of Peoria -- the county seat and seventh most populous city in the state. While White and African Americans make up the majority of the population, between the 2000 and 2010 Census, the percentage of both Asian and Hispanics doubled.
