    This document analyzes data from New York City neighborhoods on median household income, rates of diabetes, obesity, and asthma hospitalizations. The data shows that neighborhoods with lower median incomes generally had higher rates of diabetes and more children hospitalized for asthma. Across the boroughs, the South Bronx stood out as having both the lowest incomes and highest disease rates. The data suggests an association between socioeconomic factors like income and public health outcomes.
