Why do some zip codes appear, while others do not?
Zip code boundaries change from year to year. Changes include new, consolidated, and removed zip codes and occur more frequently than indicator data is collected and reported. Therefore HCI must select Zip Code boundary files that most closely match the geographies for which we have data.
My Indicator has a map tag, but I cannot see a map.
A map is missing only when a site maintains indicator data at a geography that is NOT included in our map boundary file. Example: data for Zip Code 12345 is from 2010, and Zip Code 12345 no longer exists as of 2012, the year of HCI's zip code boundary file. Therefore the map for this zip code cannot be displayed.
Why can't I see my custom service area?
HCI maps are designed to map standard geographies (county, zip code, and census tract) and in most cases will not display a custom area.
Why is the indicator data year for one location different from the others?
HCI will occasionally suppress values due to instability of the reported data. Consequently, values shown at other locations on the map may be from different measurement periods than the one shown on this page. Example: Zip Code 1 and Zip Code 2 both have 2010 data for the same indicator, but the data for Zip Code 2 is unstable. Our system will show 2010 data for Zip Code 1, and suppress the 2010 data for Zip Code 2, instead showing the most currently available, stable data.

What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the tuberculosis incidence rate in cases per 100,000 population. |
| Why this is important: Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial disease that usually affects the lungs, although other parts of the body can also be affected. The TB bacteria are spread through the air when a person with untreated pulmonary TB coughs or sneezes. Prolonged exposure to a person with untreated TB is usually necessary for infection to occur. In 9 out of 10 exposed people, the immune system halts the spread of the infection and the infected person does not become sick or spread disease to others. However, the bacilli remain dormant and can be activated if the immune system becomes severely weakened by HIV, diabetes, chemotherapy cancer treatments, or other causes. A person with TB disease is contagious until he/she has been on appropriate treatment for several days to weeks. The most important way to stop the spread of tuberculosis is for TB patients to cover the mouth and nose when coughing, and to take all TB medicine exactly as prescribed by their physician. The Healthy People 2020 national health target is to reduce the tuberculosis incidence rate to 1.0 case per 100,000 population. |
| Technical Note: The distribution is based on data from 179 Texas counties. |
