  • Rent burden
  • Broadband connection
  • Smoking
• Cities will be able to use all the features of the Dashboard
• Support from the City Health Dashboard team to help understand and leverage the data
• A featured blog or Impact Story on the Dashboard, highlighting how health data makes a difference

Eligible applicants include U.S. municipalities, including cities, towns, townships, boroughs, and villages with populations 1,000 to 50,000. Individuals or teams represented by community members, policymakers, city government leaders and staff, students/student groups, teachers, and others are encouraged to apply.
