Adult Psychiatric Beds 
When people in psychiatric distress are uninsured, charged with crimes or meet state criteria for civil commitment because they are violent/dangerous to themselves or others, psychiatric beds are where they are admitted for treatment. The number of beds indicates the number of people who may potentially receive adult (age 18 and over) psychiatric care on an in-patient basis.

Looking at numbers of professionals or facilities within a geographic area helps to focus on the availability of mental health care and its quality.

In 2024, the rate per 100,000 of Adult Psychiatric Beds in Alachua County was 27.1 compared to Florida at 18. The line graph shows change over time when there are at least three years of data.

Data Note(s)
  • Hospital bed counts exclude those that occurred at state-owned psychiatric facilities.
  • Data as of December of the specified year
  • This is secondary, quantitative data.
  • All population-based rates are calculated using July 1 Florida population estimates from the Florida Legislature, Office of Economic and Demographic Research.
  • Chart will display if there are at least three years of data.
  • Multi-year counts are a sum of the selected years, not an average.
  • Quartiles are calculated when data are available for at least 51 counties.
  • MOV - Measure of Variability: Probable range of values resulting from random fluctuations in the number of events. Not calculated when numerator is below 5 or denominator is below 20, or count or rate is suppressed. The MOV is useful for comparing rates to a goal or standard. For example, if the absolute difference between the county rate and the statewide rate is less than the MOV, the county rate is not significantly different from the statewide rate (alpha level = 0.05). When the absolute difference between the county rate and the statewide rate is greater than the MOV, the county rate is significantly different from the statewide rate. MOV should not be used to determine if the rates of two different counties, or the county rates for two different years, are statistically significantly different.
  • Denom - abbreviated for denominator.
  • Population estimates are not available for persons whose county of residence is unknown. Given this, the denominator and associated rate are not available.
  • * - Indicates the county rate is statistically significantly different from the statewide rate.
