Your final project involves studying an interesting question about a U.S. community. We define community as a city or county. Select one (or more if you want to do a comparison study) city or county from the lists below. The lists show the 100 largest cities and counties according to total population using data from the 2015-2019 American Community Survey. You are limited to cities or counties on these lists because data are more difficult to find, have higher margins of errors, or contain more missingness in areas with smaller populations. You will need to get approval from the professor if you would like to use a city or county not listed below. Here and here are how the U.S. Census defines cities and counties, respectively.
