This study aims to compare cardiovascular disease-specific standardized mortality rate and explore the related factors in local districts using community indicators. Data were collected community health indicators of local districts from Statistics Korea and Community Health Survey 2010. Data of 216 local districts were used for the analysis. There were significant differences in cardiovascular disease-specific standardized mortality by size of population, financial independence, no. beds per 1000 population, no. of doctors per 1000 population, no. of registered car per capita. Prevalence of current smoking, walking over 30 min daily, and obesity were correlated with cardiovascular disease-specific standardized mortality. High current smoking rate, low financial independence, high no. of registered car per capita, high no. beds per 1000 population, low no. of doctors per 1000 population were significant predictors of cardiovascular disease mortality. Community health behaviors and other indicators could be influencing factors of community cardiovascular disease-specific mortality. Appropriate resource allocation need to be considered to reduce cardiovascular disease motality. Community health behaviors and other social indicators should be considered when making decisions on health policies and health planning.
