Key State Highlights.

Californians generally enjoy better health care access and health outcomes than most people across the nation, despite facing great socioeconomic and environmental challenges.

While California ranks among the top states with the best health outcomes in premature and infant mortality, Black and American Indian/Alaska Native babies and adults face mortality rates that are at least twice as high as the state rate for the population overall.
More than half of households in California struggle with finding affordable and quality housing, and Black households face the greatest challenges.
California Black, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Hispanic adults have lower rates of post-secondary education than the rate for the state overall, with the Hispanic population being farthest from the HOPE goal.
The Hispanic population in California face not only socioeconomic inequities, but also have lower rates of health insurance coverage, access to a dedicated health care provider, and access to affordable care than the state rates for the population overall.
