Health Data & Reports

Community Health Assessment (CHA) is the foundation for improving and promoting the health of county residents. Community health assessment is a key step in the continuous community health improvement process. The role of CHA is to identify factors that affect the health of a population and determine the availability of resources within the county to adequately address these factors.

2021 Buncombe County Community Health Assessment Report

North Carolina’s Department of Health & Human Services requires that Buncombe County conduct a Community Health Assessment at least every four years. The most recent CHA was completed in June 2022.

State of the County Health Report
