This dataset identifies hospital care deserts across U.S. ZIP Codes by mapping hospital locations and calculating the average distance - both in mileage and travel time - from population centers to the nearest hospital. It enables stakeholders to pinpoint where gaps in access to care exist and where additional healthcare resources are most urgently needed.
Overview
Overview
This dataset empowers government leaders, health systems, providers, planners, and economic development professionals to:
-
Identify the current locations of hospitals across the U.S.
-
Measure average distance and drive time to hospital care from population centers
-
Compare access to care across neighboring ZIP Codes and within states
-
Detect care deserts - areas underserved by hospitals
-
Support planning, investment, and policy decisions to strengthen healthcare access
Description
In the U.S., your ZIP code is a stronger predictor of life expectancy than your genetic code - and access to hospital care is a central reason why.
The HSR.health Care Desert Initiative highlights how gaps in healthcare infrastructure, particularly hospitals, impact health outcomes across communities. This dataset provides curated, geocoded hospital locations from the U.S. Homeland Infrastructure Foundation-Level Data and calculates the average distance to hospital care at the ZIP Code level. It also identifies hospital deserts - regions where communities lack sufficient access to hospital-based services.
By visualizing and quantifying these gaps, this dataset offers a powerful tool for improving access to care, guiding resource allocation, and enhancing preparedness in both rural and urban areas.
Bespoke Analysis Request
HSR.health offers customization to fit your needs. In addition to ZIP Code-level analysis, hospital care desert insights are available at the Census Tract, County, or custom boundaries (e.g., hospital catchment areas, legislative districts, service areas). We also support care desert mapping and analysis for one or multiple service lines (e.g., maternal care, emergency services, behavioral health).
