Context

Introduction

Declining civic participation, particularly in voting and volunteering, has raised concerns about democratic engagement and social trust in the U.S. Civic Pulse Analytics, a nonprofit research firm, partners with local governments and advocacy groups to analyze civic behaviors and develop targeted engagement strategies.

Role

The learner acts as a Civic Data Analyst at Civic Pulse Analytics. They are tasked with analyzing patterns in civic behaviors—such as voting, volunteering, and neighborhood engagement—by demographic and geographic segments. These insights will help local leaders and nonprofits design interventions to boost civic involvement and rebuild community participation.

Business Objectives

The task is to identify key trends and disparities in civic engagement across age groups, income levels, and geographic areas. The analyst's training in data cleaning, exploration, and visualization equips them to extract meaningful narratives from survey responses.

Products

The final product is a health ranking report of fast food sandwiches, supported by data visualizations and a written brief. This report clearly demonstrates whether and how fast food chains meet public health benchmarks, contributing to informed choices and accountability.
