Geospatial Analysis of Violations
Geospatial examination of the dataset can provide valuable information about the geographic distribution of health disorders in different locations. Using the latitude and longitude data available for each facility, a map can be created that visually shows the concentration of violations in specific geographic areas. The purpose of this analysis is to find clusters of non-compliant facilities or areas with consistently high or low levels of compliance. In addition, adding demographic or economic information to the map can reveal relationships between the socioeconomic context of an area and compliance with the health and safety standards of food businesses. Geospatial tools and visualizations such as heat maps or choropleth maps can be used to comprehensively describe the spatial distribution of violations.
