Adults with COPD

Select a Census Tract
Measurement Period: 2022
This indicator shows the percentage of adults who have ever been told by a doctor they have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, or chronic bronchitis.

Why is this important?

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, refers to a group of diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems. COPD most commonly includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema and usually results from tobacco use, although it can also be a result of pollutants in the air, genetic factors, and respiratory infections. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, and chronic cough. Although there is no cure for COPD, smoking cessation, medications, and therapy or surgery can help individuals manage their symptoms.
