- Health Topics give background information and links to NJSHAD indicator reports and dataset queries related to each of more than 20 public health topics. This is a better starting point for users who don't know yet if they want indicator reports or custom queries.
- Community Profiles take data points from multiple indicator reports and show them together for a selected community. Comparable statewide and U.S. values are shown alongside the community data values. Community selections include all 21 counties and the 4 largest racial/ethnic groups in New Jersey.
- Search results are now limited to NJSHAD content.
- Now, when you build a query that includes County as the "display by" category, you will get a map as part of your result page by default. Line, bar, and other graphs are still available.
- County map data can be grouped several different ways (e.g., Jenks natural breaks or quantiles) and into 2 to 5 color groups after the map has been displayed.
- Map colors can be reversed, if desired.
- Two different base maps are offered, overlays and labels can be hidden/shown, and zooming is possible.
- Hovering over a county displays its data.
- Kendo provides greatly improved graphs with more distinct colors and automatic display of error bars.
- Kendo data tables allow users to sort columns, hide/show columns, filter results, and collapse/expand rows.
- Menus shrink when the screen width is below a specified number of pixels.
- Menu tabs must be clicked to display or hide contents (no hover over).
