Our data

This page explains how the numbers on Community Health Centers Near Me are built. Updated 2026-11-13.

Sources

Three public files from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) are merged:

  • Health Center Service Delivery and Look-Alike Sites supplies each clinic's name, address, phone number, website, weekly hours, setting and operator. HRSA refreshes it daily.
  • Health Center Program Awardee data (Uniform Data System, 2025) and the matching Look-Alike data supply patient counts, income and insurance mix, services, quality measures and staffing for each health center.
  • The ZIP code patient table in the same files supplies the patients per ZIP code shown on clinic and health center pages.

Which clinics are listed

The directory lists active, permanent clinic sites run by federally qualified health centers and FQHC look-alikes. School-based sites, correctional and nursing-home sites, mobile units, seasonal sites and administrative-only offices are left out. Duplicate site records are merged. 10,640 clinics and 1,536 health centers are listed.

Which pages search engines see

Clinic pages are indexed when the clinic is open at least 16 hours a week and its health center has annual numbers (10,102 clinics today). City pages are indexed when a city has 3 or more such clinics. Pages with less to compare stay reachable but are kept out of search results.

How comparisons are calculated

  • State median is the median across health centers headquartered in that state, shown when the state has at least three health centers with data. U.S. median is the median across all health centers.
  • Income shares use patients with a reported income. Insurance shares use all patients.
  • Quality measures are the health center's own annual clinical quality results. Higher is better for each measure shown.
  • Hours are the weekly hours of operation the health center reports for the site. The state figure is the median clinic.
  • Service counts and staffing cover the whole health center, not a single clinic.

Fees

Health centers in the federal program offer a sliding fee scale by income and household size and see patients regardless of ability to pay. Exact fee schedules are set by each clinic. We do not list prices.
