More than 80 percent of U.S. residents live in urban areas. But until recently, few measures have been available to assess health, the factors that shape health, and the drivers of health equity at the city level. The goal of the City Health Dashboard is to provide communities and city leaders with an array of regularly updated data specific to neighborhood and/or city boundaries — such as life expectancy, obesity, and children in poverty — to improve the health and well-being of everyone in the community. The Dashboard includes data from all cities with population over 50,000 (more than 750 cities across the U.S).
