This is a graph of the Overweight or Obesity of youths by Borough in 2009. According to the survey, an observation that can be made is that the percentage of overweight youth is only 27.3%. This is not to say that this is a low number, but I personally thought it would be a larger percentage. Another observation is that, strangely enough, all the boroughs do not have a large difference in the percentage rates of overweight or obese youths.

This is a graph of Trends in Obesity of adults based on years. Observation tells us that Brooklyn maintains the highest amount of obese adults. It can also be noted that none of the lines show an immense increase or decrease in trends in obesity at first glance, however the variable of interest over time doesn’t reflect much change in a graphical form. Instead, small rise or falls show great increase or decrease in numbers of obesity.
This is a graph showing the obesity of adults by neighborhood. The graph provides a sectioned off view of each individual area in the five boroughs. Despite Queens being a large geographical area, the maroon colored areas are rare in the borough. Also, Manhattan being a smaller area generally also has a lower percentage. The Bronx tends to have more of this maroon colored percentage including Brooklyn and Staten Island.
