[SHORTENED TITLE UP TO 50 CHARACTERS] 3 A: Description of local and subpopulation The community I have chosen is Olathe. This city is a part of Johnson County, which is the most populated County in Kansas (Johnson County Kansas, 2023). Olathe is comprised of roughly 143,014 individuals as of July 1, 2021 (United States Census Bureau, 2023). Of these individuals, 50.2% are female, and 49.8% are male, which is comprised of 6.5% being 5 years of age or younger, 27.6% being 18 years of age or younger, and 11.9% being 65 or older. The racial diversity within this community is mainly comprised of 4 subpopulations: White, alone non- Hispanic (74.9%), Hispanic (11.3%), African America (5.8%), and Asian (4.2%). These subpopulations combined have a median income of $100,849 annually with 6% living in poverty. 94.1% of the community aged 25 and older possess a high school diploma or higher, and 50.2% aged 25 and older possess a Bachelor’s Degree or higher (United States Census Bureau, 2023). According to the Olathe Chamber of Commerce, this area boasts the “fastest growing major job markets in the Midwest” (Olathe Chamber of Commerce, 2023). Within the growing community, the leading employers having 2,000 or more individuals include: Farmers Insurance, Garmin International, Johnson County Government, Olathe Medical Center, and the Olathe Public Schools (Olathe Chamber of Commerce, 2023). With so many opportunities for education and employment, the city utilizes privately owned vehicles as their primary source of transportation at 80.2% (DATA USA, 2023). It is reported that roughly 9.68% of individuals work from home, while 8.18% utilize carpooling. Other forms of transportation noted within the community are: bicycling, public transit, taxi, walking, and publicly provided motorized scooters in its down town area. With these various

[SHORTENED TITLE UP TO 50 CHARACTERS] 4 forms of transportation, those living around the community have access to a multitude of food sources including but not limited to: grocery stores (Walmart, Target, Price-Chopper, ALDI, Hy- Vee, Whole Foods, Hen House, Asian Food Marker, El Guero Novedades, and Kanza Mediterranean Market), and fast food (McDonalds, Sonic, Chipotle, Wendy’s, Applebee’s, Austin’s Bar and Grill, and many local establishments and food trucks). With so many individuals, local law enforcement and health care are a must. Olathe’s crime rate is below the national average at 22.63 per 1,000 residents (CrimeGrade.org, 2023). Of the reported crimes, 2.6% are considered violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape and murder) , 15.22% are property crimes (theft, vehicle theft, burglary, and arson), and 4.819% fall into their “other” category which include (kidnapping, drug crimes, vandalism, identity theft, and animal cruelty (CrimeGrade.org, 2023). Olathe’s health system provides adequate medical access to residents with a local Hospital, urgent care centers, family practice offices, and houses the Johnson County Health Department. Of the 143,014 individuals, 92.8% have health coverage. This can be further broken down with 67.8% on employee plan, 5.92% on Medicaid, 8.81% on Medicare, 9.58% non-group plans, and 0.721% on VA plans (DATA USA, 2023). The subpopulation that I will be exploring within this community are individuals affected by depression. After careful review of the medical concerns affecting the individuals residing in Olathe, it was apparent that medical concerns such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and respiratory disease were all below the state of Kansas average. Two items were not, depression and adult binge drinking ( Conduent Healthy Communities Institute, 2023). Of the 143,014 individuals residing in Olathe, approximately 18.1% are reported to have a diagnosis of depression, thus being an indicator in the State’s suicide rates exceeding those of the national average ( Conduent Healthy Communities Institute, 2023). This subpopulation primarily consists
