Abstract: High-quality healthcare in the US can be cost-prohibitive for certain socioeconomic groups. In this paper, we examined data from the US Census and the CDC to determine the degree to which specific socioeconomic factors correlate with both specific and general health metrics. We employed visual analysis to find broad trends and predictive modeling to identify more complex relationships between variables. Our results indicate that certain socioeconomic factors, like income and educational attainment, are highly correlated with aggregate measures of health.
