        ESSAY
        A Socioeconomic Analysis of Diabesity and Diabesity Prevention in New York City

        The 2 maps show the boroughs of New York City. The first map shows the percentage of residents living in poverty, and the second shows the number of diabetes deaths per 100,000 population. Comparison of the 2 maps indicates that areas of greater poverty tend to have higher rates of diabetes deaths.

        Figure 1. Maps of New York City showing percentages of residents living in poverty and diabetes deaths per 100,000 population, by borough and neighborhood.
