Measuring Diversity Impact

Explore the relationship between a county's diversity and a wide range of other social qualities.

The measurement and dimensions of a county's "diversity" are given in this Kaggle dataset , calculated according to a widely accepted such measure:  The Simpson Diversity Index .  The relationships explored will be with one of the largest collections of social measures at the county level, from sources such as the US Census and PatchworkNation.org.  This collection is available at The Laboratory of the Counties .

Examples of my recent work of this type include predicting which counties voted for Clinton over Trump from their population densities :

Predicting county violent crime rate from percent immigrant population :

And rank ordering social correlates of a State's measure of psychopaths per capita , showing extreme opposition between inner city vs suburban demographies.
