Nice, thanks Angie… I’ll put some effort into pulling the census data through a MSA (?) pull… I chose counties largely because that’s the most granular data I have COVID data for, but I believe I can get it by zip code somewhere now. I can show you how to do this (it’s easy) if you have a use for the clustering data…

I had thought about the data this way and it is great you have used census data for a cluster and factor analysis.
You can pull larger data sets from the census easily on the American community survey function and get larger sets, high would obviously affect your factor analysis. My neighbor and I could then bring your cluster-factors into a GIS to look at other patterns possibly like regional climates.. I would try using the census MSA data pull function (areas of 50k or more) because it might be more interesting than counties, showing more of the density effect?
