Rural Health

HRSA’s Rural Health program coordinates activities related to rural health care within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The Rural Health program has department-wide responsibility for analyzing the possible effects of policy on 62 million residents of rural communities.

The HRSA Data Warehouse (HDW) allows users to interact with data in charts, tables/reports, maps, and tools. Visit the Data Sources and Refresh Dates page for more information about where rural health data is available in the HDW. These data sets include grants, rural area (2009 definition), and U.S./Mexico border area.
