City Data

OVERVIEW

Accurate, timely, and local data are essential to the practice of public health. In these dashboards, developed in partnership with Drexel University Urban Health Collaborative, we provide descriptive data of how health outcomes, COVID-19 related outcomes, and especially inequities in these outcomes, are evolving in Big Cities Health Coalition member cities.

BIG CITIES HEALTH INVENTORY (BCHI) DASHBOARD

There is a clear need for city-level data to understand and inform a city’s health and ensure that programs are equitable and responsive to a community’s health needs. The BCHI provides a baseline of health in urban communities, as well as evidence of policies and practices at work in BCHC member jurisdictions.
