CHHS Dashboard: Single Program Participation and Demographics by District

Explore participation and demographic data for CalWORKs, Medi-Cal, CalFresh, and more with this interactive CHHS dashboard tool, now available by district and program.

This interactive tool from the CHHS Program Dashboard provides a detailed breakdown of single program participation across the state. Users can explore how individual CHHS public assistance programs—such as CalWORKs, CalFresh, Medi-Cal, WIC, and In-Home Supportive Services—are accessed by different populations within specific counties and legislative districts.

Visualized by district and program, this dashboard shows not only the total number of persons served, but also demographic insights such as age group, race/ethnicity, and gender, along with benefit per person data for select programs.
