Final Project

This is my final project. Well, this is the simpler version. I wanted to somehow show a representation of the correlation between poverty and health. I always intended on doing a multivariate map, a la Chernoff faces. So I created some variables, but realized it was a bit hard on the eyes (brain that is). So this is with only 2 thematic variables...Per capita income and heart disease.





This is with 3 thematic variables: Per capita income, heart disease and prevalence of obsesity.
