Description
This research proposal focuses on public health and economics. It focuses on how the zip code you reside in affects your health. Studies have shown that the correlation between zip codes and health may be stronger than the correlation between genetic codes and health. Many of the reasons zip codes affect your health are economic. This research aims to address the economic reasons and explore the disparities in life expectancy between areas with higher socioeconomic levels and lower socioeconomic levels. In places like Chicago there are life expectancies with up to 30 years in between them (Ducharme and Wolfson, 2019). Socioeconomic variables such as medical, education levels, and demographic will be utilized. This project will test the significance of zip codes and health within different communities specifically focusing on Los Angeles County and its zip codes.
