This layer displays rates and counts of fast food and limited-service eating establishments in counties across the United States. Establishment counts are acquired from the 2016 County Business Patterns, released by the US Census Bureau in April and May 2018. Rates are calculated per 100,000 population based on figures from the 2010 Decennial Census. For more map layers from this series, search the Map Room for the terms County Business Patterns or CBP .
Opiate Prescription Rates
The data in the maps show the geographic distribution in the United States, at both state and county levels, of retail opioid prescriptions dispensed per 100 persons from 2006–2016. Data are displayed using state and county level boundaries. The state maps portray these rates for each of the 50 states plus the District of Columbia. The county maps portray these rates for almost all U.S. counties for a given year from 2006-2016.
Eviction Rates
This layer displays data about evictions in the United States. Data is available from 2000 – 2016. The data was produced by Eviction Lab at Princeton Univesity. Information about data methodology and definitions can be obtained from EvictionLab.org
Higher Education Facilities
This layer displays the characteristics and locations of higher education facilities including vocational and technical schools, colleges, and universities.
On-Time Graduation Rates, 2015-16

Teen Birth Rates by County, 2010 and 2015
This dataset contains estimated teen birth rates for age group 15–19 (expressed per 1,000 females aged 15–19) by county and year. Hierarchical Bayesian space-time models were used to generate hierarchical Bayes estimates of county teen birth rates for each year. Data are provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).
DEFINITIONS
Estimated teen birth rate: Model-based estimates of teen birth rates for age group 15–19 (expressed per 1,000 females aged 15–19) for a specific county and year. These annual county-level teen birth estimates “borrow strength” across counties and years to generate accurate estimates where data are sparse due to small population size. The inferential method uses information—including the estimated teen birth rates from neighboring counties across years and the associated explanatory variables—to provide a stable estimate of the county teen birth rate.
NOTES:
Data on the number of live births for women aged 15–19 years were extracted from the National Center for Health Statistics’ (NCHS) National Vital Statistics System birth data files for years 2003–2020.
Population estimates were extracted from the files containing intercensal and postcensal bridged-race population estimates provided by NCHS. For each year, the July population estimates were used, with the exception of the year of the decennial census, 2010, for which the April estimates were used.
