Description: Data visualization by Isaac H. Michaels, MPH showing county-level data on physical inactivity and heart disease mortality in Texas. Distributions are presented geographically (maps), univariately (histograms), and bivariately (scatter plot). The county-level association between physical inactivity and heart disease mortality is presented by reporting and visualizing a simple linear regression model. The dataset was provided by the American Heart Association. This was entered as a static visualization in the student division for the Heart of Texas Data Visualization Contest at the 2019 Healthier Texas Summit.
