- 2) . In February 2021, the Chicago Tribune reported:“The overdose epidemic that has ravaged Chicago has not spared the nearby suburbs, some of which have death rates comparable to anything seen in the city, according to a report released this week by the Cook County Department of Public Health. ZIP codes in the towns of Worth, Broadview, Maywood, and Forest Park, areas that “have substantially lower median household incomes and higher poverty rates,” have been especially hard-hit, the report said.”In the article, they claimed that lower incomes were associated with higher overdose death rates and that overdose death rates are increasing over time. The data you have been analyzing wasn’t focused on Chicago, obviously. But do your results support the general gist of the statistical argument being made in this Tribune excerpt?
