for context, population of Starbase city is 500. Approximately 260 of these residents are SpaceX employees, with the rest primarily being their family members.

Yes. Starbase city is just SpaceX. It would be pretty surprising if it behaved in any significantly different way than any other SpaceX facility.

Tech bro cities like this and the ones proposed in California will tend towards corporate levels of secrecy. Public health could be a trade secret, whose leakage would be civilly actionable.

Of course if the tech bros neuter agencies like OSHA, secrets are harder to pry out.
