How to read these numbers

  • Each figure is a City Health Dashboard estimate for Hoboken; the data period is shown on every measure.
  • The arrow shows CHD's scale direction — whether a higher number means better or worse health for that measure, not a grade for the city.
  • Every measure traces to a national dataset (CDC, Census, and peers); the exact source is linked on each card.
  • These are city-level population estimates for orientation — not individual medical advice.
