Students will work individually on this assignment due in Week $3.$ Students will identify the specific geographic area $($locality$,$ ZIP code, or census tract$)$ and prepare a demographic profile of the people who live there from data available at www$.$census.gov or from other demographic. This profile should provide specific information, including relevant facts and figures. You are encouraged to include graphs or charts that help describe the demographics of your geographic area $($at least one is required$).$ Cite all of your sources within the text and on the reference page.

Based on this demographic profile, you will analyze what sort of healthcare needs one might anticipate in the geographic area. In other words, what does this demographic profile tell you about the needed healthcare services or products? Are all these needs currently being met? If not, which needs might provide a market opportunity? During this section, you will get a better idea of what healthcare entity to choose in your budget planning and analysis.
