Dashboard designed with Shiny for Python using Leaflet and hosted on shinyapps.io. The dashboard offers a selection of demographic information on the citizens that live in Health Provider Shortage Areas (HPSA) as defined by the Department of Health and Human Services. HPSAs are so designated because they lack access to medical care. Most HPSAs in urban environments are comprised of poor residents with little access to a personal vehicle and therefore must rely upon public transportation to reach clinics.
People with End State Renal Disease (ESRD) travel frequently to dialysis centers and if you do not have a car the burden of making your appointments is great. To better understand this burden the analysis determined the average time it would take to reach the nearest dialysis center by walking no more than 10 minutes plus the bus travel time. Some areas, accounting for 10% of the Census blocks and 8.3% of the population living in an HPSA, cannot access a center at all in this manner.
