Here’s an example of how to create a unique analytic with a focus on health and community health centers.
Topic: Find areas of Philadelphia that meet three criteria: At least 25% of the households are single family headed with children; at least 25% of the residents are SNAP food stamp recipients; and the area has a high LSA (Limited Supermarket Access) Score.
Also identify nearby (or lack of) community health centers in those areas.
