Infectious Diseases in the Tucson area

Infectious Diseases prevalence is the number of people impacted by infectious diseases in a neighborhood. It combines the impact of all common and emerging pathogens such as influenza, COVID-19, RSV, measles, bird flu, insect-borne illnesses and more into a single score. It gives an idea of how many people are sick in an area at a given time.

Infectious Diseases prevalence in the Tucson area is reported as the weekly score of how many people are impacted in a typical neighborhood in the area, on a five-point scale: Low (<5), Moderate (5–15), High (15–25), Very High (25–40) and Extreme (>40). The score reflects the number of people impacted by Infectious Diseases in a typical neighborhood in the area, validated against public health data from CDC, HHS, EPA, NOAA, and other authoritative sources. Methodology details are available at https://www.hubbubworld.com/intelligence#methodology.

Hubbub develops proprietary models on top of geographic, demographic, environmental, surveillance and weather data to produce prevalence scores across the U.S. Prevalence is reported on a five-point scale (Low, Moderate, High, Very High, Extreme) so the scores are interpretable without needing the raw underlying numbers. The full methodology — including the modeling approach, validation against authoritative sources, and known limitations — is documented at https://www.hubbubworld.com/intelligence#methodology.
