Local Health Departments: Information for WISH Users

Wisconsin Interactive Statistics on Health (WISH) provides data at the county level for all modules. Many modules also provide data by local health department jurisdiction.

Most Wisconsin local health departments are agencies of their county government, so data for those local health departments reflect county-level data. However, some local health departments serve populations that are subsets of a county: one or more minor civil divisions (cities, villages and towns).
