Data Explorer Activity by Amelia Bohan https://padlet.com/ameliabohan/epkpfiqpk21aeznz The City Health Dashboard is an online resource to provide city and neighborhood-level data on health and the conditions that affect health, such as housing affordability and access to nutritious foods. The Dashboard helps cities across the United States target their efforts to improve the well-being of residents, neighborhood by neighborhood. This worksheet will get you started exploring the Dashboard and using the data for local action. en-us 2025-05-28 14:43:49 UTC 2025-05-28 18:30:27 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/3907342454/db8d45cafcf2cb438ac28b66f1991e08/CHDB_Header_White.png Navigate to: ameliabohan https://padlet.com/ameliabohan/epkpfiqpk21aeznz/wish/3471113053 Search for your city and explore some health metrics that align with your local priorities and take note of:
