The "Utah Small Health Statistics Areas" was developed by the Utah Department of Health by combining neighboring ZIP code areas to create 99 small areas ranging in population of approximately 8,000 to 86,000 persons. The feature layer was developed in 1997 by the Office of Public Health Assessment and revised in 2018. The purpose for this feature layer is to allow for more meaningful analysis by reducing areas to the smallest unit where there is enough data to be reliable and the area is similar.

Small Areas are defined based on ZIP Codes, population size, local health district and county boundaries, similarity of ZIP Code area income levels, community political boundaries, and input from local community representatives.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV>
