Part 3 Section 2







In Part 3 Section 2 we studied and analyzed the Annual Asthma Rates in the San Francisco Bay Area by race and also compared those rates with other Air Quality factors. In map 1, it displays the annual asthma rates of the Hispanic and the African American ethnic groups, clearly showing that ashtma is a more popular health problem with the African American race than the Hispanics. In map 2, it displays the comparison of the annaul asthma hospitalization rates along with air quality factors such as ozone and particulate matter. And lastly in map 3 pretty much sums up the final results of the analysis of which race seemed to experience the most asthma related problems. And referencing back to map 1, it shows that Alameda County had the most cases of this health issue in African Americans. Included also in the map is a chart of the avg asthma rates.
