The Fort Bend County Community Health Assessment, conducted by Rice University’s Kinder Institute for Urban Research in collaboration with the UTHealth Houston School of Public Health, provides a comprehensive, data-driven snapshot of health and well-being across our rapidly growing and diverse county. Drawing on responses from nearly 3,500 residents and weighted to reflect the county’s demographic profile, the assessment highlights both strengths and persistent challenges in areas such as chronic disease, access to care, food security, and insurance coverage, while also illuminating disparities among different population groups. This rich body of local health data offers invaluable insight for community leaders, partners, and residents seeking to inform strategies, align resources, and foster equitable improvements in health outcomes throughout Fort Bend County.
