In March of 2023, the County of San Diego, Public Health Services, Community Health Statistics Unit presented a Community Health Assessment. The data showed heart disease and other chronic diseases as leading causes of death. Also, compared to all San Diego County, Central residents were less likely to have health insurance. See population indicators below.
