Specific health risk patterns

Franklin County, FL: 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 Franklin 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.

Field Burden· 90Very Highlow confidence

Pesticide intensity at 2.0 kg per sq mi, summer max temperatures averaging 92.1°F.

Pesticide + heat exposure × Farmworker population

Field Burdenneeds review

Franklin County: 90/100 (elevated above the 70th-percentile threshold)

Pesticide intensity × summer heat × farmworker population proxy. Surfaces counties where outdoor agricultural workers face simultaneous heat-illness and pesticide-exposure risk.

Weighted composite of pesticide_density_pct_high + summer_max_temp + farmworker_proxy (component weights documented in the gold pipeline manifest, ticket #90)

Methodology. Demographic identifies the population HRSA 330(g) migrant/seasonal worker centers were created to serve. v1 weights are pending finalization — see ticket #90 — and the score is published with medium confidence pending the curation pass.

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

Heat Vulnerability

Franklin County: 88/100 (elevated above the 70th-percentile threshold)

Extreme heat exposure × cardiometabolic comorbidity × cardiology access deficit. Surfaces counties where a hot-day mortality event would land hardest.

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.

Where Franklin County stands

Health risks here sit near national averages

Franklin County, Florida has elevated chronic disease rates — respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and behavioral health conditions rank worse than 70% 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

Franklin County compared to Florida 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.

Franklin County four-pillar profile20406080100Disease BurdenEnv RiskSDOH StressProvider Gap

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