Webinar on The 500 Cities Project: Local Data for Better Health

Local governments need population health measures at small geographic area levels for multiple purposes, such as public health intervention, resource allocation, and health policy formulation. Such data however is typically unavailable. The 500 Cities Project provides small area estimates at the city and census tract levels for a select set of population health measures through a dedicated website that allows users to view and explore the maps and data for the largest 500 cities in the United States.

The EPA’s Office of Environmental Justice is hosting an interactive webinar, with presenters from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to share this data. Through this webinar, you will better understand the burden and geographic distribution of health-related variables and you will learn how to use this data in planning public health interventions.
