This was a three week project to identify a target population susceptible to asthma attacks requiring hospitalization in the San Francisco Bay Area. Analysis was done using Census data for demographics and data on Ozone and Particulate Matter. Alameda County was identified as having the highest Asthma hospitalization rates among the 9 counties in the Bay Area especially among the large African American population in the County. This map shows the 4 area hospitals located near the most dense black population areas.
Here is a link for a power point showing the steps I took in the analysis process and the many maps I created along the way.
