Finding quality health data for Calaveras County is challenging due to our small population (approximately 46,000 residents). Many datasets suppress small county data to protect privacy, while small sample sizes often result in:
- Unreliable statistical estimates with wide confidence intervals
- Regional rather than county-specific reporting
- Less frequent data updates
- Complete data suppression for certain indicators
- Year-to-year instability in measurements
Despite these limitations, valuable data sources, including Calaveras County information, are available from various websites that we have compiled below. This data may support community health assessments, grant applications, research, program planning, policy development, and trend analysis.
