New Jersey

Across New Jersey's 21 counties, none have two or more of the four health-risk areas (environmental, disease, provider access, and social conditions) above the national threshold at once. Where need shows up here, it tends to be concentrated in a single area rather than stacking.

Statewide, the health-risk area scoring highest on average is environmental risk, the leading driver of community health need in New Jersey.

The most widespread specific risk pattern is Industrial Burden, triggered in 3 counties.

Salem County carries the highest overall need in the state, with an opportunity score of 39 out of 100 (below average). Higher scores mean more burden relative to the rest of the country.
