Disparity Ratio
Disparity ratios measure the difference in outcomes between two groups. The resulting number then determines the letter grade for that given indicator. A lack of disparity or difference does not mean adequate health services, access, behaviors, or outcomes. An asterisk [*] indicates that St. Clair County [SCC] faces worse outcomes, rather than Michigan [MI] or Port Huron [PH].
