EXAMPLE USAGE

This Excel spreadsheet and point shapefile shows the total number of heat-related ED visits by NH residents by hospital between 2012 and 2019.

This data comes with a more detailed spatial breakdown than what DHHS offers via their online Data Portal.

We requested this hospital-level data from DHHS because we wanted to illustrate the spatial distribution of heat-related illnesses below the level of the county. The 26 hospitals reporting data in this spreadsheet allowed us to do that, especially in the southern part of the state.

Many thanks to the DHHS’ Bureau of Health Statistics and Public Information Office for providing us with this resource.

Type: Statistical, spatial
