Milwaukee City Community Health Survey Report—2015 1
The purpose of this project is to provide Milwaukee with
information for an assessment of the health status of residents.
Primary objectives are to:
1. Gather specific data on behavioral and lifestyle habits of the
adult population. Select information will also be collected about
the respondent’s household.
2. Gather data on the prevalence of risk factors and disease
conditions existing within the adult population. 3. Compare, where
appropriate, health data of residents to previous health studies.
4. Compare, where appropriate and available, health data of
residents to state and national measurements
along with Healthy People 2020 goals. This report was commissioned
by Aurora Health Care, Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, Columbia
St. Mary’s Health System, Froedtert Health and Wheaton Franciscan
Healthcare in partnership with the Center for Urban Population
Health and the Milwaukee City Health Department. The survey was
conducted by JKV Research, LLC. For technical information about
survey methodology, contact Janet Kempf Vande Hey, M.S. at (920)
439-1399 or janet.vandehey@jkvresearch.com. For further information
about the survey, contact the Milwaukee CityHealth Department, at
(414) 286-3521. Data Collection Respondents were scientifically
selected so the survey would be representative of all adults 18
years old and older in the service area. The sampling strategy was
two-fold. 1) A random-digit-dial landline sample of telephone
numbers which included listed and unlisted numbers. The respondent
within each household was randomly selected by computer and based
on the number of adults in the household (n=690). 2) A cell
phone-only sample where the person answering the phone was selected
as the respondent (n=510). At least 8 attempts were made to contact
a respondent in both samples. Screener questions verifying location
were included. Data collection was conducted by Management
Decisions Incorporated. A total of 1,200 telephone interviews were
completed between March 16 and July 14, 2015. Weighting of Data For
the landline sample, weighting was based on the number of adults in
the household and the number of residential phone numbers,
excluding fax and computer lines, to take into account the
probability of selection. For the cell-phone only sample, it was
assumed the respondent, if an adult, was the primary cell phone
user. Combined, post-stratification was conducted by sex and age to
reflect the 2010 census proportion of these characteristics in the
area. Margin of Error With a sample size of 1,200, we can be 95%
sure that the sample percentage reported would not vary by more
than ±3 percent from what would have been obtained by interviewing
all persons 18 years old and older with telephones in the service
area. This margin of error provides us with confidence in the data;
95 times out of 100, the true value will likely be somewhere
between the lower and upper bound. The margin of error for smaller
subgroups will be larger than ±3 percent, since fewer respondents
are in that category (e.g., adults 65 years old or older who were
asked if they ever received a pneumonia vaccination). In 2013, the
Census Bureau estimated 436,012 adult residents in the health
department’s service area. Thus, in this report, one percentage
point equals approximately 4,360 adults. So, when 21% of
respondents reported their health was fair or poor, this roughly
equals 91,560 residents ±13,080 individuals. Therefore, from 78,480
to 104,640 residents likely have fair or poor health. Because the
margin of error is ±3%, events or health risks that are small will
include zero.

Methodology
Milwaukee City Community Health Survey Report—2015 2
In 2013, the Census Bureau estimated 228,935 occupied housing units
in Milwaukee. In certain questions of the Community Health Survey,
respondents were asked to report information about their household.
Using the 2013 household estimate, each percentage point for
household-level data represents approximately 80 households.
Statistical Significance The use of statistics is to determine
whether a true difference between two percentages is likely to
exist. If a difference is statistically significant, it is unlikely
that the difference between the two percentages is due to chance.
Conversely, if a difference is not statistically significant, it is
likely there is no real difference. For example, the difference
between the percentage of adults reporting they had an eye exam in
the past year in the 2003 Community Health Survey (50%) and the
percentage of adults reporting this in 2015 (47%) is not
statistically significant and so it is likely not a real
difference; it is within the margin of error of the survey. Data
Interpretation Data that has been found “statistically significant”
and “not statistically significant” are both important for
stakeholders to better understand residents as they work on action
plans. Additionally, demographic cross- tabulations provide
information on whether or not there are statistically significant
differences within the demographic categories (gender, age,
education, household income level and marital status). Demographic
data is available for race and ethnicity for the questions that had
enough respondents. Finally, Healthy People 2020 goals as well as
Wisconsin and national percentages are included to provide another
perspective of the health issues. Throughout the report, some
totals may be more or less than 100% due to rounding and response
category distribution. Percentages occasionally may differ by one
or two percentage points from previous reports or the Appendix as a
result of rounding, recoding variables or response category
distribution. Definitions Certain variables were recoded for better
analysis and are listed below. Marital status: Married respondents
were classified as those who reported married and those who
reported a member of an unmarried couple. All others were
classified as not married. Household income: It is difficult to
compare household income data throughout the years as the real
dollar value changes. Each year, the Census Bureau classifies
household income into five equal brackets, rounded to the nearest
dollar. It is not possible to exactly match the survey income
categories to the Census Bureau brackets since the survey
categories are in increments of $10,000 or more; however, it is the
best way to track household income. This report looks at the Census
Bureau’s bottom 40%, middle 20% and top 40% household income
brackets each survey year. In 2003 and 2006, the bottom 40% income
bracket included survey categories less than $30,001, the middle
20% income bracket was $30,001 to $50,000 and the top 40% income
bracket was at least $50,001. In 2009, 2012 and 2015, the bottom
40% income bracket included survey categories less than $40,001,
the middle 20% income bracket was $40,001 to $60,000 and the top
40% income bracket was at least $60,001. The 2009 recommended
amount of physical activity by the Centers for Disease Control is
moderate activity for at least 30 minutes on five or more days of
the week or vigorous activity for at least 20 minutes on three or
more days of the week. Moderate physical activity includes walking
briskly, bicycling, vacuuming, gardening or anything else that
causes small increases in breathing or heart rate. Vigorous
physical activity includes running, aerobics, heavy yard work, or
anything else that causes large increases in breathing or heart
rate. Insufficient physical activity includes participation in
either activity, but not for the duration or the frequency
recommended. Inactive respondents reported no moderate or vigorous
physical activity in a typical week. Overweight status was
calculated using the Center for Disease Control’s Body Mass Index
(BMI). Body Mass Index is calculated by using kilograms/meter2. A
BMI of 25.0 to 29.9 is considered overweight and 30.0 or more as
obese. Throughout the report, the category “overweight” includes
both overweight and obese respondents. Current smoker is defined as
someone who smoked a tobacco cigarette at least some days in the
past 30 days.

The definition for binge drinking varies. Currently, the Centers
for Disease Control (CDC) defines binge drinking as four or more
drinks per occasion for females and five or more drinks per
occasion for males to account for weight and metabolism
differences. Previously, the CDC defined binge drinking as five or
more drinks at one time, regardless of gender. In 2003, 2012 and
2015, the Milwaukee Health Survey defined binge drinking as four or
more drinks per occasion for females and five or more drinks per
occasion for males to account for weight and metabolism
differences. In 2006 and 2009, the definition was five or more
drinks, regardless of gender. Demographic Profile The following

Overall Health and Health Care Key Findings In 2015, 48% of
respondents reported their health as excellent or very good; 21%
reported fair or poor. Respondents who were female, 55 and older,
African American, non-Hispanic, with a high school education or
less, in the bottom 40 percent household income bracket, unmarried,
overweight, inactive or smokers were more likely to report fair or
poor conditions. From 2003 to 2015, there was a statistical
increase in the overall percent of respondents who reported their
health as fair or poor. In 2015, 6% of respondents reported they
were not currently covered by health care insurance; respondents 18

percent household income bracket or unmarried were more likely to
report this. Sixteen percent of respondents reported someone in
their household was not covered at least part of the time in the
past 12 months; respondents who were in the bottom 40 percent
household income bracket or unmarried were more likely to report

decreased for respondents 18 and older as well as for respondents
18 to 64 years old who reported no current personal health care
coverage. From 2009 to 2015, the overall percent statistically
decreased for respondents who reported no personal health care
coverage at least part of the time in the past 12 months. From 2003
to 2015, the overall percent statistically decreased for
respondents who reported someone in the household was not covered
at least part of the time in the past 12 months. In 2015, 20% of
respondents reported they delayed or did not seek medical care
because of a high deductible, high co-pay or because they did not
have coverage for the care in the past 12 months; respondents who

non-African American, with some post high school education or
unmarried were more likely to report this. Twelve percent of
respondents reported that someone in their household had not taken
their prescribed medication due to prescription costs in the past
12 months; respondents in the bottom 40 percent household income
bracket were more likely to report this. Fourteen percent of
respondents reported there was a time in the past 12 months they
did not receive the medical care needed; non- Hispanic respondents
were more likely to report this. Twenty-one percent of respondents
reported there was a time in the past 12 months they did not
receive the dental care needed; respondents who were female, 18 to
24 years old, non-white, with some post high school education, in
the bottom 40 percent household income bracket or unmarried were
more likely to report they did not receive the dental care needed.
Five percent of respondents reported there was a time in the past
12 months they did not receive the mental health care needed;
respondents who were female, 18 to 24 years old, non-Hispanic or
unmarried were more likely to report this. From 2012 to 2015, the
overall percent statistically remained the same for respondents who
reported someone in their household had not taken their prescribed
medication due to prescription costs in the past 12 months. From
2006 to 2015, the overall percent statistically remained the same
for respondents who reported an unmet medical need. From 2012 to
2015, the overall percent statistically remained the same for
respondents who reported an unmet dental need or unmet mental
health need in the past 12 months. In 2015, 48% of respondents
reported they contact their doctor when they need health
information while 30% reported they go to the Internet. Respondents
who were 65 and older, African American, with a high school
education or less or in the bottom 40 percent household income
bracket were more likely to report they contact their doctor.
Respondents who were 25 to 34 years old, non-white and non-African

percent of respondents had an advance care plan; respondents who
were 65 and older, white, non-Hispanic, in the top 40 percent
household income bracket or married were more likely to report an
advance care plan. From 2003 to 2015, there was no statistical
change in the overall percent of respondents

reporting their source for health information was their doctor.
From 2003 to 2015, there was a statistical increase in the overall
percent of respondents reporting their source of information was
the Internet. From 2006 to 2015, there was a statistical decrease
