For your assignment, work with a cleaned dataset where you perform your own cleaning and filtering.
1. Once you run the above code and filter this complicated dataset, perform your own investigation by filtering this dataset however you choose so that you have a subset with no more than 900 observations through some inclusion/exclusion criteria.
Filter chunk here (you may need multiple chunks)

filter(StateDesc != "United States") |>
select(
Year, StateAbbr, CityName, GeographicLevel,
Category, Measure, Short_Question_Text,
Data_Value, Low_Confidence_Limit, High_Confidence_Limit,
PopulationCount, lat, long,
MeasureId, CityFIPS, GeographicLevel

First plot chunk here
hchart(my_clean, "bubble",
hcaes(x = MeasureId , y = Data_Value,
size = PopulationCount,
color = Short_Question_Text)) |>
hc_title(text = "Montana health Outcome (Adults 18+)") |>

) |>
hc_tooltip(
pointFormat = "<b>{point.CityName}, {point.StateAbbr}</b><br>
Question: {point.Short_Question_Text}<br>
Category: {point.Category}"
) 3. Now create a map of your subsetted dataset.
First map chunk here
leaflet(my_clean) |>
#setView(long, lat, zoom =5.5) |>
addTiles() |>
addCircleMarkers(
lng = ~long,
lat = ~lat,
radius = ~sqrt(PopulationCount/100),
color = "green",
fillOpacity = 0.6,
weight = 1,
popup = ~paste(
"<strong>", CityName, ", ", StateAbbr, "</strong><br>",
"Population: ", format(PopulationCount, big.mark = ",")
))4. Refine your map to include a mouse-click tooltip
Refined map chunk here
leaflet(my_clean) |>
addProviderTiles("CartoDB.Positron") |>
addCircleMarkers(
lng = ~long,
lat = ~lat,
radius = ~sqrt(PopulationCount/80),
color = ~MeasureId,
fillOpacity = 0.6,
popup = ~paste0(
"<b>", CityName, ", ", StateAbbr, "</b><br>",
"Value: ", Data_Value, "%", "<br>",
"Population: ", format(PopulationCount, big.mark = ","), "<br>",
"Category: ", Category, "<br>",
"Issues: ", MeasureId, "<br>",
"Geographic Level: ", GeographicLevel
),
label = ~CityName,
clusterOptions = markerClusterOptions()
)5. Write a paragraph
In a paragraph, describe the plots you created and the insights they show.
I began by cleaning the latlong dataset, sampling the state Montana (2017), removing “United States,” and selecting the relevant columns. I then filtered the data to have only health measures for adults 18 and older using str_detect(), and removed NA’s from TractFIPS, Data_Value, PopulationCount, and the coordinate column. I built a Highcharter bubble chart plotting cities by their Data Value and Measure Id, the bubble size represents the population, with a red-yellow-green color legend. I also created a basic Leaflet map with circle, with the size being the population, and popups showing the city name and population. Finally, I made a better version of the map by switching to a CartoDB Positron basemap, coloring by MeasureId, and adding more information to the popups.
