## Summary

**Neighborhood-level, publicly accessible health data** would be made easier to build, share, and compare across communities. This bill would create a CDC-run pilot to award competitive grants to eligible entities to develop or expand local data platforms and to establish a National Neighborhood Health Data Repository for de-identified, aggregated submissions. - Community members would get public dashboards with neighborhood, ZIP code, or census tract data and downloadable visuals across health, housing, and economic indicators to support local planning and advocacy. - State and local health departments, municipalities, and counties could partner with academics or nonprofits to receive grant support and CDC technical assistance for integrating federal, state, and local data and for aligning with interoperability and privacy standards. - Researchers, policymakers, and local planners would have a searchable national repository that aggregates submitted data, enables cross-jurisdiction comparisons, and includes visualization, filtering, and download tools.
