[//]: # "======================= Instructions for posting issues: (1) Review what is already there. Perhaps a comment to an existing issue would be more appropriate than opening a new one? Issues can be a topic idea, a cry for help, a to-do, or a discussion / question about the event itself. (2) Write your post (below this text blob) using Markdown (as per https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/ ) or just plain text. (3) Don't worry about these introductory lines - you can leave or delete them, as they won't display anyway (you can check this via Preview). (4) Hit the 'Submit new issue' button. ============================"

I'd love to work on this.

Yes, this is of interest to me (one of several). Cross referencing medical conditions would be interesting/useful.

Idea for Social Determinants of Health research: Overlay maps of house pricing (a proxy for income/socioeconomic status) and CAT routes (color coded by frequency of buses at each stop in a specific loop) to determine how well current public transit serves low income communities.
