Congressional District Health Dashboard

The goal of this new dashboard is to provide policymakers and policy advocates with health data to inform policy decisions affecting health outcomes. It provides data for all U.S. congressional districts, expanding the geographic coverage of its sister site, the City Health Dashboard.

We built the site with The Department of Population Health at NYU Langone Health. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation provides funding for NYU’s work.

The site presents data for more than 35 health-related metrics for all U.S. Congressional Districts. Site visitors can browse the data at the national and district-level via Metric Maps or review all metric values for individual districts via Congressional District Snapshots.

In addition, the site provides visitors with background information on each metric and each district, as well as demographic information for some metrics. Visitors can even download the data (registration required) for their use.
