Once this work is completed, your assignment is to submit a report describing the information that you found.
1. In a paragraph or two, briefly describe your decision process in deciding which two zip codes to study. Are they geographically close or far apart? What factors influenced your decision to select these zip codes?
2. Create a table to display the information that you found in Part 1. The rows on the table should be the two zip codes. You should create a column for each of the following categories:
• Population
• Education level
• Income level
• Ethnic origins/language
• Percent at poverty level
• # of elementary schools
• # if high schools
• # eligible for school lunches
3. Report on your analysis of this data and on your visit to grocery stores in the two zip code areas. Did anything surprise you? How does this information relate to what you physically saw when you did your windshield survey? How do these findings relate to community nursing and public health in general?
This report should be written in APA format, and should be 3-4 pages in length.
