Correlations Discovered Between Health Risks and Demographics

Poverty vs. Healthcare

There is a weak positive correlation between these two factors. We can see that the greater the poverty, the more healthcare is lacking. However, there are some states somewhat lacking healthcare despite their poverty rates being lower (Wyoming, Alaska).

Poverty vs. Smoking

The percentage of smokers seem to be consistent across the board when compared with poverty, with a slight increase as poverty increases.

Poverty vs. Obesity

Obesity seems to be a common health risk in the US, with consistent patterns across states despite poverty rates.

Age vs. Healthcare

The majority of people lacking healthcare tend to fall between the age of 36-40 in most US states. Texas appears to be the state where most people lack healthcare.

Age vs. Smoking

Smoking appears to be a health risk posed to older people (>36 years) in most of the US states.

Age vs. Obesity

Obesity is on the high in states where the median age is 36-40.

Household Income vs. Healthcare

States with a higher median household income show better healthcare rates than those with lower incomes.

Household Income vs. Smoking

Household income seems to have an effect on smoking, with lower incomes appearing to have more smoking risks than higher incomes.

Household Income vs. Obesity

Obesity is generally high across states but compared to income, we see more states with lower income towards the high end of obesity, possibly due to inexpensive fast food culture in the US.
