Abstract:
The purpose of this research project is to explore the multifaceted societal impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the United States, using advanced data visualization and analysis techniques. Through the integration of COVID-19 data with US Census and crime statistics data, we seek to uncover meaningful insights into various socioeconomic factors affected by the pandemic.
The analysis will focus on examining the relationship between COVID-19 metrics and key socio-economic indicators such as crime rates, and population markers across the 4 different regions of the United States. By employing rigorous statistical methods and visualizations, we aim to identify potential correlations and patterns that shed light on the pandemic's impact on vulnerable populations and communities.
Furthermore, this research will contribute to a deeper understanding of the interplay between public health crises, socioeconomic factors, and crime rates. By leveraging crime statistics data, we will investigate how shifts in socioeconomic conditions during the pandemic may have influenced crime trends across the states.
Overall, this study seeks to provide valuable insights that can inform policy decisions and community interventions aimed at mitigating the social impacts of pandemics and times of public uncertainty in the future.
