Community Health Profiles- NYC Neighborhoods
Drawing from the Community Health Survey, these profiles provide neighborhood level data on overweight and obesity, access to care, poverty rates, and levels of physical activity-- all of which contribute to the diabetes prevalence.
The rates of diabetes differ greatly by neighborhood in New York City. Looking at neighborhood level risk factors allow us to better understand what contributes to the uneven distribution of this epidemic and allows us to identify areas for intervention and health promotion.
