This program calls the data from a Center for Disease Control JSON source to find how the average obesity levels for adults in the US has changed over the years. Specifically, this looks as adults in poverty (income of >$15,000) to see if more action by organizations or the government needs to be taken before it’s too late. The percentage of obesity levels for each state (including D.C.) were added together and then divided by the total number of states to find the averages.
It was found that obesity levels for adults in poverty have increased from the start point 0f 2011 to 2022 by about 5%. More details can be found in the project.
