16. About the Community Health Dashboard Project
The goal of the project is to provide Bronx-specific data on risk factors and health outcomes with an emphasis on presenting data on trends, socio-demographic differences (e.g., by age, sex, race/ethnicity, etc.) and sub-county/neighborhood level data
Data will be periodically updated as new data becomes available.
Produced by Montefiore’s Office of Community & Population Health using publicly-available data sources
