The purpose of this study was to measure the number and density of hospitals per Census Tract or Zip Code Tabulation Area in the United States in 2023.
Study Design View help for Study Design
The research team used hospital location data from the Homeland Infrastructure Foundation-Level Data (HIFLD) and determined each hospital's Census Tract or ZCTA for each year by mapping its latitude and longitude to the 2010 and 2020 TIGER/Line shapefiles from the US Census Bureau (United States Census Bureau 2012, 2021a, 2021b, 2022).

The population denominator for the per capita density variables came from the Decennial Census (United States Census Bureau, 2024).
Data for the land area denominator came from the land area of the Census Tract or ZCTA from the 2010 or 2020 TIGER/Line shapefiles (United States Census Bureau, 2021a).
Data and Documentation were originally deposited in openICPSR Project 222901.
