WHERE DOES BNIA-JFI GET THE DATA USED IN THEVITAL SIGNS?
Data for Vital Signs indicators come from many different groups bbotth within and outside of Baltimore City including: government agencies, neighborhood groups, non-profit organizations, Federal resources such as the U.S. Census, and commercial sources. Because the data is obtained by BNIA-JFI, sources of data may change due to cancellation of data collection by data provider, change in how data is collected, cost of data, or availability of new data sources. As a result, sources for several indicators have changed since the initial publication of Vital Signs 1 in an attempt by BNIA-JFI to ensure the most accurate representation of changes available. A complete list of sources for each indicator is available for each Vital Signs publication found in our Vital Signs section.
