neighborhood health

Neighborhood health refers to the overall well-being of a community, influenced by factors like access to healthcare, safe housing, employment opportunities, education, and social support. It considers how local environments—such as parks, grocery stores, and healthcare facilities—impact residents’ physical and mental health. A healthy neighborhood promotes equity, safety, and resources that enable residents to live healthier, more fulfilling lives. Addressing neighborhood health helps reduce disparities and supports community resilience by creating environments where people can thrive physically, emotionally, and socially.
