Inspiration

We knew that we wanted to analyze something related to mental health and when we found a dataset related to crimes in LA county, we thought it would be interesting to explore the relationship between income, serious crimes, and adult depression.

What it does

Compiles statistical analysis from various datasets to form a call to action and provides resources for those in need.

How we built it

We used R for data cleaning, analysis and visualization and React for the frontend-development of the website

Challenges we ran into

We dealt with a lot of merging issues as most of us were beginners in regard to GitHub. We also had trouble finding trustworthy datasets.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of the website UI and that we were able to analyze data. All of us came in as complete beginners, so we are especially proud to have a completed project to present.

What we learned

We learned to effectively use R for data visualization as well as for data cleaning. We also became familiar with GitHub and its many different commands

What's next for Fault Lines

App Development, personalized accounts for user, consensual data collection to improve efforts, and chatbot.
