The New York University School of Medicine launched an online resource city governments can use to identify and help develop policies to improve the health needs of their communities. The City Health Dashboard gives access to demographic data from 500 of the largest cities in the U.S. and reports on 36 health measures, including air quality, housing, walkability, smoking, obesity and level of access to clinical care services. The data offer a view of national health trends, including a state-by-state comparison of smoking rates, and users can compare data between different cities or across different metrics.
