The Congressional District Health Dashboard (CDHD) builds on the City Health Dashboard’s foundation, responding to requests for additional unbiased health and wellbeing data at the congressional district level. This tool will give policymakers, advocates, journalists and others a one-stop resource of trusted, nonpartisan data at the congressional district level to support policies that allow everyone the opportunity for good health and wellbeing.

Most data on health, the drivers of health, and health equity are organized at the county, state, or, more recently, city level. In contrast, data about the health of people living in congressional districts is difficult to find. That’s where the Congressional District Health Dashboard (the Dashboard) comes in. The Dashboard provides actionable measures of health and its drivers calculated at the congressional district level, showing users how their district is doing on health outcomes, social and economic factors, and more.

The Dashboard was created by the Department of Population Health at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, in partnership with and support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and builds on our experience creating and managing the City Health Dashboard since 2018. The Congressional District Health Dashboard (CDHD) launched in January 2023 as a first-of-its-kind resource, offering trusted data on health and its drivers for all 435 (and Washington DC) U.S. congressional districts.

The Dashboard incorporates the 2022 re-drawn district boundaries based on the 2020 census, corresponding to the 118th Congressional session that started in January 2023. Data and site features will be updated regularly. To learn more about the site and its data, please check out our one-pager, FAQ and technical documentation.

We welcome feedback, questions, and examples of how you’re using the data (just email us - info@CDhealthdashboard.org). And be sure to subscribe for updates – we plan to add some great data and features!
