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. That's where the City Health Dashboard comes in. Our goal 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.
With support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the City Health Dashboard launched in 2018 with data on over 35 measures of health and drivers of health for the 500 largest U.S. cities. The dashboard has grown since then, adding new measures and features, including multi-year data for 35 metrics, new data visualizations, and easier data access through an API. In 2020, the Dashboard expanded to include additional small and midsize cities, so data is now available for over 750 cities across the U.S. – all cities over population 50,000.
