Wide health differences exist between neighborhoods, but health data is often not available at the local level. This makes it difficult for community organizations, health systems, government agencies, researchers, and others to identify and prioritize local improvement opportunities and/or target neighborhoods experiencing inequity.
“Although data by themselves cannot rectify health inequities, the absence of data demonstrating harm nevertheless is harmful itself.” ~ Nancy Krieger, PhD, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
