Understanding the distribution of childhood lead poisoning by geography and by race is critical for understanding local disparities in lead poisoning. This information is particularly important for ensuring culturally appropriate services are provided to members of our community.
Below are tables that provide a breakdown of the number of children tested for lead poisoning and the number found to have elevated results (≥5 mcg/dL) by place and race within Onondaga County. Records that do not contain a value for race in the NYSDOH LeadWeb Application are marked as "unknown race" in the tables below. Please refer to the Explanation of the Data for information on how these data were analyzed.
