The only data source NCHWA has that provides county-level information is the Area Health Resources Files. AHRF leverages data from multiple sources including government and non-government data. While some federal agencies have adopted the new planning regions for the state of Connecticut, other data sources for the AHRF did not. During this transition time, AHRF will report county aggregates using the county designation from the source data. As such, for Connecticut specifically, the AHRF will contain FIPS codes for both the eight counties and the nine planning regions. County-level aggregated data will be assigned to corresponding FIPS based on the original data source.
