Estimates were produced for HALE (healthy life expectancy) at the merged county level in the United States, by racial and ethnic population, for each year from 2009 to 2019. These estimates were produced using population data from the National Center for Health Statistics; covariate data derived from the American Community Survey, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, Gallup Daily survey, and estimates of Years Lived with Disability (YLDs) from the Global Burden of Diseases 2021 study.

This data set includes the following:

• CSV files of marge county-, state-, and national-level estimates of HALE for each age group, sex, year, and racial and ethnic population: Latino, American Indian or Alaska Native (AIAN), Asian or Pacific Islander (Asian), Black, White. Blank cells are for masked estimates.
• Code used to generate the estimates.
