A Citywide Health Check-up, Neighborhood by Neighborhood

Take a close look at the neighborhood-by-neighborhood data from the 500 Cities project, a new collaboration by the CDC, the CDC Foundation, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which shows us both successes and disparities in the health of Connecticut cities.

The project’s innovative statistical estimates are published for all neighborhoods in the nation’s 500 largest cities, including New Haven and seven others in Connecticut, allowing public health practitioners and the general public to understand health care, health outcomes, and health-related behaviors at a hyper-local level.
