Demographic Analysis #22

Closed leggitta closed 6 years ago

leggitta commented 6 years ago

Following @synflyn28's initial demographic exploration, I have some additional follow up questions ...

[ ] Compare veteran metrics to general population (by state)
[ ] Map regional variation in demographics (by state)
[ ] Identify outliers (see box plots)
[ ] Look for significant correlations

Feel free to add additional questions in the comments

I brought up an issue with the boxplots in Slack

With regards to the outliers for Disability, they're from Washington DC and Puerto Rico. The outlier for Poverty is Puerto Rico.

I'm going to grab some ACS data that could be used to re-create the state maps shown in the image below

I'll be using the R package acs to pull the data, and will collect it into a CSV file and upload it to the data.world workspace - https://data.world/leggitta/va-open-data
