Healthy North Carolina (HNC 2030) provides the foundation for the NC State Health Improvement Plan.  Using the Robert Wood Johnson-County Health Ranking's Population Health Framework,  planners apportioned the number and type of indicators used in the model. 

The quality of our life and how long we live is dependent upon four types of factors: 

• Health Behaviors (about 40%),
• Clinical Care (about 20%),
• Physical Envionment (about 10%), and
• Social and Economic factors (about 40%).

HNC 2030 addresses 21 wicked problems based upon the above allocation:

• 6 Indicators for Health Behaviors
• 4 Indicators for Clinicare Care
• 3 Indicators for Physical Environment
• 6 Indicators for Social and Economic 
• 2 Overarching Indicators

This Scorecard tracks priorities specific to the 21 headline indicators highlighted in HNC 2030 and the NC State Health Improvement Plan.

Healthy People 2030 is our nation's plan that focuses on eight global outcome measures that impact overall health and well-being. In addition to the global measures, there are 355 core objectives that have 10 year targets.

Healthy North Carolina 2030 tracks 21 indicators with 10 year targets. NC's 21 indicators are aligned with Healthy People 2030, with two exceptions that were of specific interest to North Carolinians (Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Consumption and Short-term School Suspensions),
