4. CLIMBING UP THE LADDER
ALZEIMER’S DISEASE

5. CALIFORNIA

7. WHAT DOES $$ HAVE TO DO WITH IT?
• A correlation coefficient of -0.00843 is found the states median household
income and its overall death rate.
• Therefore, a state’s median household income is not a good predictor of the
overall death rate.
8. Correlation of Cause of death with Median Household
income by State

Cancer Deaths -0.001446802
Alabama Deaths -0.024394338
Diabetes Deaths -0.024269763
Heart disease Deaths -0.054274452
Influenza and pneumonia Deaths -0.034145366
Kidney disease Deaths -0.014637997
Stroke Deaths -0.066498526
Suicide Deaths 0.031776722
Unintentional injuries Deaths -0.004266909
9. ALZHEIMER'S AND MONEY?
• Deaths by Alzheimer's disease has the strongest positive correlation with median
household income
• Although still weak, the correlation is 0.094.
• A rise in median household income in a state likely leads to a slight increase in
the number of deaths by Alzheimer's disease.

11. THE C WORD
• Cancer deaths have the lowest correlation with median household income expressing a
very small negative correlation of -0.001
• SHOCKING!
12. CONCLUSION
• An increase in household incomes might lead to a reduction in deaths which may
be due to improved access to:
