In 2021, 11.6% of Americans were diagnosed with diabetes, and every year over 2 million Americans are diagnosed with the disease. What particularly interested us is that the percentage of people living with diabetes is distributed highly unequally across counties in the US. With this project, we aim to identify key risk predictors for diabetes, understand the role of demographic and socioeconomic factors in diabetes prevalence, and provide insights to help make informed policy decisions at the local level.
