Community Cardiovascular Disease Risk From Cross-Sectional General Practice Clinical Data: A Spatial Analysis
ORIGINAL RESEARCH — Volume 12 — February 26, 2015
This map represents a spatial pattern of an index of relative socioeconomic disadvantage (IRSD) in the study area, by level 1 statistical areas (SA1s). A low IRSD equates with greater socioeconomic disadvantage. The map indicates that people at lower socioeconomic status live in the eastern part of the study area and that people at higher socioeconomic status live in the western beach areas of the study area. Figure generated by using ArcGIS software version 10.1.
