Specific health risk patterns

Chautauqua County, KS: 4 specific risk patterns triggered

Each pattern below combines a specific environmental exposure with a population that is more vulnerable to that exposure. When both are present at meaningful levels in Chautauqua County, the pattern triggers. These are the most concrete data points for documenting a significant health need in a Community Health Needs Assessment and for planning where services or community investment would land hardest.

Internally, we call these “Compound Signals.” Each is a versioned, weighted composite scored against the national distribution. The full formula and citations live on the methodology page.

Heat-Dialysis Vulnerability

Chautauqua County: 81/100 (elevated above the 70th-percentile threshold)

Extreme heat × dialysis-dependent Medicare beneficiaries × chronic kidney disease prevalence. Anchored on Taiwan NHIRD findings of 5.3× CKD heat-hospitalization rate, 9× ESRD heat-stroke mortality.

0.40 × percentile(summer_max_temp) + 0.35 × percentile(dialysis_per_1k_medicare) + 0.25 × percentile(kidney_prevalence)

Methodology. Dialysis patients are uniquely heat-vulnerable: missed dialysis sessions during heat-related power loss or transport disruption cause electrolyte cascades within hours. The Taiwan NHIRD analysis (NHIRD = National Health Insurance Research Database) is the strongest population-level evidence we have for the magnitude of the effect.

Threshold. Elevated when score ≥ 70th national percentile across all US counties evaluated for this signal

Peer set. All US counties evaluated for the signal (~3,222, less coverage gaps)

Heat Vulnerability

Chautauqua County: 76/100 (elevated above the 70th-percentile threshold)

0.40 × percentile(summer_max_temp) + 0.30 × percentile(chd_diabetes_blend) + 0.30 × percentile(cardiology_access_deficit)

Methodology. Heat-related cardiovascular mortality is the canonical climate-health linkage. The cardiometabolic blend identifies populations with the comorbidity profile that most amplifies heat-event mortality; the cardiology access leg captures whether the local system can absorb a heat-event surge.

Weighted composite of cafo_density_pct + flood_exposure + rural_medicaid_gap (component weights documented in the gold pipeline manifest, ticket #90; flood_exposure pending Lynch/Parks 2025 ingestion per ticket #76)

Caveat. USDA Census suppresses cells where disclosure would identify individual farms, biasing the AU total downward in concentrated-producer counties. Census is quinquennial — between releases the value goes stale.

0.40 × percentile(pm25_annual_mean) + 0.30 × percentile(asthma_copd_blend) + 0.30 × percentile(pulmonology_access_deficit)

Source page →

How it's measured. EPA AQS reports monitor-network annual means where a county hosts a regulatory monitor. For counties without a monitor, the platform falls back to EPA EJSCREEN modeled PM2.5 (a downscaled NAAQS-grade product) so every county has a value.

Caveat. AQS undercounts wildfire-attributable PM2.5 by 10–30% in fire-affected counties; the platform reports wildfire smoke separately via Stanford Childs/Burke.

Coverage. All 3,222 US counties (mix of monitored + modeled)

Asthma + COPD prevalence blend30%

60/40 dominant/secondary percentile blend of asthma and COPD prevalence — the higher-percentile condition gets 60%, the lower gets 40%.

0.6 × max(percentile(casthma), percentile(copd)) + 0.4 × min(percentile(casthma), percentile(copd))

Methodology. The dominant/secondary blend ensures counties with both conditions elevated score higher than those with only one — a cardiometabolic-style cluster signal that a max() or simple average would miss. Introduced in methodology v1.1.0 to replace the original max() rule across all multi-condition disease components.

Pulmonology access deficit30%

Inverted national percentile rank of pulmonologists per 100K, with a 50/50 in-county/neighbor-county adjacency adjustment.

100 − [0.5 × percentile(pulmonology_per_100k, this county) + 0.5 × percentile(pulmonology_per_100k, neighbor counties weighted by population)]

Methodology. Inversion turns 'fewer providers' into a higher deficit score (so the signal weights point the same direction as exposure). The 50/50 adjacency adjustment uses Census Bureau county-adjacency files to reduce false positives where a county borders a major medical center: a small county next to Houston shouldn't read as 'no pulmonology' just because the practice happens to sit across the county line.

Where Chautauqua County stands

Health risks here sit near national averages

Chautauqua County, Kansas has elevated chronic disease rates — respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and behavioral health conditions rank worse than 74% of U.S. counties. Pollution exposure, doctor access, and social and economic conditions all sit closer to the middle of the national distribution. The pattern here is concentrated disease burden rather than multiple risks piling up — typically this points to legacy disease patterns or an older population rather than emerging environmental or access drivers.

Methodology: when three or more of the four major health-risk areas (pollution, chronic disease, doctor access, social and economic conditions) score above the 70th national percentile, we call the pattern “multi-pillar convergence.” The scoring approach and citations live on the methodology page.

Risk profile

Chautauqua County compared to Kansas and the U.S. average

Four health-risk scores on a 0-100 scale, where 50 is the U.S. average. A higher score means that area is a stronger contributor to community health risk.

Chautauqua County four-pillar profile20406080100Disease BurdenEnv RiskSDOH StressProvider Gap

Disease Burden (74) is worse than at least 70% of U.S. counties, the largest contributor to community health risk here.
