DATA101 Homework 2

This project examines whether the spatial distribution of hospitals in Metro Atlanta is equitable. Using 2023 ACS tract-level data and hospital point-of-interest (POI) data, median rent was classified into high, medium, and low categories. Spatial joins and buffer analyses measured hospital accessibility, while regression models tested the relationship between rent, demographics, and healthcare access. Results show that hospitals are more concentrated in high-rent and high-density neighborhoods, while low-rent and minority-heavy tracts face significant disadvantages.
