Virtual Community Assessment

Visual assessment of a residential area and surrounding community provides the CHN with data essential for planning and implementing activities for the individual in the community and the community at large. For the purpose of this DQ identify a residential zip code in your area in which at least 25% of the residents live in poverty. [Note: You will be using this zip code for your Community Assessment paper this semester and in the practicum next semester. In the practicum you will be completing an actual windshield survey and other activities in the selected zip code. Thus, the zip code must be in your area. To emphasize once more, your community is the zip code, not a city or county.]Initial post: Using Google maps, explore your entire zip code. The posted PowerPoint presentation will help guide you.Identify/list your zip codeReport poverty level of zip code.Provide a brief description of what you see.
