Indicators are specific measures that show the condition of a particular topic. For example, an indicator can show the number of physicians available in a county, the trends in unemployment, or percent of population with Veteran status. Assessment indicators combine tables, maps, charts, dials, and dynamic descriptions to provide a comprehensive view of the data.

Packaged indicators provide access to pre-selected groupings of data. The Standard Package provides a basic set of information describing conditions. The Community Development Package focuses on indicators supporting understanding of local socioeconomic conditions. The Health Professional Package supports community health needs assessment.
