Marshall County Schools are located in Marshall County, Alabama. The county is surrounded by Madison and Jackson Counties to the north, Morgan County to the west, Cullman, Blount, and Etowah Counties to the south, and DeKalb County to the east. The majority of the schools are found in heavily populated rural areas. Marshall County is unique due to the fact that there are four city school districts in addition to the Marshall County School System. This poses a challenge concerning funding within the county. This is due to the fact that the city school systems are located in four of the largest cities within the county and compose approximately 90% of the tax base revenue for the county. Our county school system is made up of primarily rural communities that lack a viable tax base. This combined with the fact the Marshall County has such a high poverty rate in general (currently slightly above 81%) has left the county school system with little in regards to a local feasible and workable revenue source.

I started off by gathering research for the demographic factors that would be easy to find for both cities by looking at the US Census database as well as the American Community Survey database. I was able to get through this process fairly quickly because the US Census publishes ‘quick facts’ about each city and I was able to do a side by side comparison between San Jose, CA and St. Louis, MO. After filling out the main demographics, it was time to fill the table with health prevalence rates, number of uninsured people, food insecurity and etc. I was able to find a lot of the health rankings through BRFSS. CDC and County Health Rankings (refer to table for specific information). I used County Health Rankings in the case where I wasn’t able

Using the 2010 census data, we correlated various socioeconomic variables in the counties of Atlanta with the percentage of blacks in counties. Table 2 indicates the results of the correlation analysis. Generally, counties with significant percentage of blacks had poor socioeconomic conditions and had significantly higher population of children less than five years old and also had significantly higher number of female populations, higher number of veteran, higher poverty, and lower house ownership. These counties also had significantly higher number of people without health insurance. All these significant correlations basically highlights the poor socioeconomic conditions in these counties. A significantly negative correlation between percent blacks and longitude indicates that northern counties in Atlanta have significantly lower percentage of blacks compared the counties in the south.
