LAYER ANALYSIS
Data layers based on the high, medium and low levels of autism prevalence reported in New Jersey, New York and Florida with the US Census’ Median Household Income and number of hospitals in the three states
LAYER ANALYSISIn the map of New Jersey, it is first noticeable that most areas are shaded a shade of green, which means that majority of the area has a relatively higher household income when compared with other states. Relative to the household income (within each state based on the median value for that particular state) we can see that most hospital locations are clustered together closest to New York City in an area where the household income ranges from $24,000 to more than $82,000. We also see (in the following New Jersey map) that the household income relative to hospital location shows that the lowest income is in an area surrounded by higher income.
LAYER ANALYSIS
Hospitals in New York are located mainly in areas with a household income of $24,001 to $39,000. However, in New York City more hospitals are found in areas with a household income over $68,001
LAYER ANALYSIS
Florida hospitals are located mainly in areas with a household income of $24,001 to $39,000
LAYER ANALYSIS Diversity in the three states and the diversity index of
Autism patients by ethnicity can be overlapped to examine patterns.
The first part of the chart looks at the “Prevalence of Diversity” and examines the prevalence of autism for the four years represented and categorizes them by different ethnicities.
The second portion of the chart comes from the US Census (http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/36000.html) and examines as a whole the diversity of the population for each state for a combined numbers of years in which the US Census measures change.
This is intended to examine patterns between the population diversity as a whole and the prevalence of autism as a part of the whole, relatively over a particular time that reflects change in diversity.

Table Info
LAYER ANALYSIS The relationship between the total diversity
in each state versus the autism prevalence based on diversity within that same state. We can see the relationship in the ratio comparison between the two variables. For instance if a state with a particular diversity
appears greater, then the data also shows a greater prevalence of autism.
This can mean that most white people show greater autism prevalence then Asian people, not because autism targets white people more but because there is a greater population
LAYER ANALYSIS Maps below show the diversity index within each state examined. In New York and New
Jersey we see a relatively higher diversity index closest to New York City; whereas in Florida the diversity index seems to be more spread out across the state

LAYER ANALYSIS Prevalence of autism Vs. Population under 18 years old Vs. Population per household Vs.
Overall population density (Comparing four layers in one table view and converting that to map view)
Table 3 shows all three states have relatively same percentage of population under 18 years old. We can also see that based on total population New York has the highest population density (also known as the population count) and the highest number of autism prevalence. Yet although New York has populations almost double the density of New Jersey; the rate at which autism prevalence increases in New Jersey is greater than that of New York

LAYER ANALYSIS Prevalence of Autism Vs. Median home value Vs. Hospital locations
Median home value in USA is $186,200. Let’s examine the relationship hypothetically between the value of a home and how conveniently a hospital is located near that home.

LAYER ANALYSIS New York and New Jersey home values closer
to NYC seem to be the highest, above USA average, whereas although Florida contains a few areas with relatively high home values, the overall home value in Florida is the lowest. Also hospitals appear to be conveniently located near areas with high home values; possibly making it convenient for families to get immunization, medical care, routine check-ups as well as emergency care.
