Stats 20 - Final Project
In this project, I studied the relationship between restaurants in California with information from the IRS about taxes in the same Southern Californian zip codes. More specifically, I looked at the relationship between number of tax returns filed by the “heads” of households and the number of dependents. Then, this result was organized by the rating that restaurants in that area, defined by zip code, recieved on Yelp. I attempted to discover a possible connection between restaurants that receieve higher Yelp Ratings and likelihood to complete a tax return, specifically ones by heads of household (meaning more than one person in a household, the majority of which are families). I also investigated the relationship between adjusted gross income (AGI) in a given zip code and the Yelp ratings for restaurants in the same area. Furthermore, I conducted a short investigation into restaurant prices and their Yelp ratings. Moreover, I performed another short inquiry on the mean victim counts in a certain area correlated with the area’s restaurants’ Yelp ratings.
