Graph #1 vs. Graph #2- Darbie Chiles

Graph #1 shows pie charts displaying what makes up our veteran population, it shows the percentages of their gender, age, and when they served in the service. For the gender graph the x values are the gender and the y is the number of veterans. For the age graph the independent variable or x the number of years served is the number of people. And for the 3rd pie chart, the x value is when they served (what war)and the y is the number of people. Within the pie charts the trends generally show more women in the service, veterans ages average in their 50s-70s, and majority of the veterans served during Vietnam. One can infer that the greatest age group of people are from the Vietnam War. I can relate to this graph because I have family who served in the armed forces.
Graph #2 is an info graphic of the United States showing the percentages of homeless veterans across the United States. The state is the x value and the number of homeless vets is the y value. The larger states and states on the east coast tend to have higher numbers of homeless vets, trending in that way. From this information you can infer that the homeless veteran numbers rise and are higher after big wars and most end up on average in the east coast. Personally this is kind of sad that all these people are homeless after serving the country.

In Graph #1, I can see a trend that the number of veterans shown are mainly men. The quantities being compared are the gender of the veterans, their ages, and the war they fought in. The most common age range of the veterans are from 65-74 years old. I see the number of women veterans growing exponentially in the next 10 years due to the already increasing numbers present. The Vietnam Era contained the highest amount of veterans fighting. The amount of veterans increase every year due to the spread of stations like the Army or Navy. Women should be involved in the active or nonactive military because that will inspire others to fight for their rights and their country.
In Graph #2, I see how the more populated a state is, the higher the number of homeless veterans there are. The quantities being compared are the numbers of homeless veteran in each state across the U.S. This is a positive trend because the numbers are increasing. California has the highest amount of homeless veterans due to the increasing population and taxation of the state. Sadly, I see the numbers increasing of homeless veterans in the next 10 years because the taxes and living situations of California are getting worse. I think that as a country we need to band together to help these people because they risked their lives everyday for the betterment of this country and the protection of its people.

Graph #1 is showing statistics on veterans in the U.S. Which show that 18.2 million veterans make up 7.3% of the American population. An overwhelming 91.1% majority of veterans are male and 8.9% are female (Note: graph does not account for people who identify as other than male or female). With most veteran's being older (67.6% being over the age of 55) and generally serving in older wars (Vietnam and both Gulf War's) a variable in the data set is the age as it consistently changes. The majority male veteran population is a result of the military only recently fully integrating women into every branch of government (also a result of the U.S. Draft only taking male candidates).
Graph#2
Showcases the statistics of Homeless American Veterans in 2017. With 40,056 they live predominantly in populous states i.e. East Coast, Texas, West Coast. They make up roughly 0.02% of the American Veteran population. The graph does not display gender but it can be inferred it follows similar statistics to the male v. female split in graph #1. We can then infer that based on the 568 person increase in veteran homeless from 2016 to 2017 veteran homelessness will slowly increase with a possibility of decline.
Conclusion: We can infer from these graphs that most veterans are male and live on the East or West Coast and are not homeless. While mostly being over the age of 55, having served in wars from the 1970's to late 1990's.

The topic of the pie graph is about who our veterans are. The quantities that are being compared is the gender of the veterans, the age of the veterans, and what wars they served in. Some trends that I noticed is that their are more male veterans serving instead of females because it says that 91.1% of the veterans are males and 8.9% of the veterans are females. Another trend i noticed was 26.7% of the veterans were 75 years old and up. One last trend is that the war most veterans served in was the Vietnam era which makes up 35.7% of the graph. Based on this graph, I think that in 10 years there will be an increase of women joining the army because of how much America has changed inclusive wise. Also from my perspective, I see more of my friends and fellow peers interested in joining the army as well so I see an increase of 18-34 year old people joining the war.

The second graph is about how many veterans are homeless. One quantity that is being compared is the percentage of homeless veterans in each state. One observation that I can make is majority of the states have less than 1% of homeless veterans. Although this is good, If you look to the other states with a higher population, they have more homeless veterans (more than 6% of their population) Based on the state of our country and how prices are increasing every year, I can see an increase of homelessness in America in the next 10 years.

GRAPH #1
The first graph is a pie chart using a circle which is divided into different sections depending on what the data shows.There are 3 of the pie charts all repressing different parts of the data like age,gender,and where they served. There is no x and y input but the variables are the age,gender and what they served in . The output in the percent of what each section had. One of the trends in the first graph is that there are mainly more men than women in the war. The 18-34 year old are the smallest group and the biggest is the 65-74 year old. Most of the people served in the Vietnam War. Right now our Vietnam are older men who had fought the Vietnam War. Because Vietnam is a while ago I feel that their will be more females now because they are more welcomed into the military now.

GRAPH #2
Graph 2 is an infographic graph because it shows data by having the map of the USA in different colors to represent the amount of homeless veterans that are in each state.There is no x and y but the input the the number/color and each different state an the output if the map itself and how many homeless veterans are in the state. A trend I see is the for the more known and populated states there are a lot more compared to the other not so populated states. I think that the veterans went to these states because they are well know and popular but then learned that they can not afford it but by then it is too late. We need to get something to to fix this issue because someone who fought for us should never be alone let alone on the streets because they risked their lives for us. SO the least we can do to repay them is to give them food or a place to stay.

First graph

There are far more male veterans than females. The amount is mostly evenly spread between 35-75 year olds with a much smaller amount of 18-34 year olds. A large majority of them served in Vietnam. It trends towards male veterans older than 34 who served in Vietnam. I think the ages will become more skewed towards old veterans as newer generations are less likely to join. I would not like to join the military either.

Second graph

California and Florida have a very large amount of homeless veterans. They are far more common on the east and west coast, as well as texas. I think these numbers will rise as more veterans leave service, but I hope people will help them and the numbers will lower.

The topic of the first paragraph is "Who Are Our Veterans." What's getting compared is the veterans gender, age, and when they served. The majority of our vets are male. Only a very small amount are female. There are few veterans that are the ages 18-34 and that is probably because most people don't retire at that young and they are more likely joining. As ages get higher, so does the number of vets because more people retire at an old age. The war that has the most vets is the Vietnam war. This is most likely because this war had a ton of people drafted into. All the other wars are about the same except WW2 has a small amount of vets. In the next 10 years, I think the gender won't change. The ages will rise but also so will the younger ages so I think it will stay the same percentages or around the same. The vets from each war will definitley change and the amount of vets will get smaller to people dying from old age
The topic of the graphs is the amount of homeless veterans are in each state by percentage. What is being compared is how many vets in each state are homeless. California, Texas, Florida, Oregon, and Washington hold the most homeless vets but it makes sense. Those 5 states do have the most people living in it. The mid west sates are really low in percentage but that is because of the small amount of people living in it. The East coast has more than the mid west but not as much as the west coast. In the next 10 years, I see the percentages rising because this is a huge problem in our country that isn't getting fixed.

The first graph shows a pie chart showing us percentage values and how the data compares to the rest of the data collected on the chart. On the first pie chart it shows us the comparison of gender between our veterans. With the mass majority of them being male with a 91.1% for men to 8.9% for woman. The second pie chart shows is the many differences in age for our veterans. It ranges from 18-34 to 75+ years old. As time goes on I believe all ages will increase because they will get older and new veterans will be recorded. The third pie chart shows us where the veterans served in war. The most veterans came out of the Vietnam era. This big spike in data tells us that many of our veterans served in the Vietnam war.
    The second graph shows a map using it like a spread sheet it can help us compare where the veterans are homeless and where the most are. We can tell that California and Florida have a high rate of homelessness for our veterans more than 6%. Towards the middle of the country homeless rates are lowered while u get closer to each coast they seem to rise. We can infer that in the future these numbers are not going to get any better as we as a county are not taking any movement towards this issue. As we get more veterans the amount of homelessness will increase. While only a small number of these veterans become homeless this shows us how our country is neglecting ones who serve and is just going to increase this number as time goes on.

The first graph is a pie chart that shows the gender, age, and where veterans served. The first thing the entirety of the graph reveals is that there is 18.2 million veterans, and that the pie chart was created using data from 2017. From looking at the data, viewers can tell that there is many more male veterans than female (91% compared to 9%) which is a positive trend for the male population. The pie chart also reveals the age ranges that many veterans are in, and a majority of them are above the age of 35, which is once again a positive trend.The pie chart also shows what wars the veterans served in, and the most common war they served in was the Vietnam war, with 36%, which is the highest trend. The dependent variable of this pie chart is the percentage for each chart, and the independent variable is wether they are male or female. My inference is that the male to female ratio will stay about the same, and so will the age, but the dependent variable will change over time if more wars occur. But if the male to female ratio switches, the trend will be going downwards. For my personal connection, I hope the number of female veterans will increase in the future, as I feel they will be a valuable asset. This is something I am considering for my career, and I know I would be more comfortable with more female representation.

The Second Graph is an infographic that shows the number of homeless veterans in each individual state within the United States. The infographic is color coded to show the amount of homeless veterans present in each state. A light yellow color means that there is not a lot of homeless veterans present in that state (less than 1% of the population in that state). A dark red color means that there is a large portion of homeless veterans in that state (more than 6%). There is the most yellow states, but a decent bit of orange states (1-2.9%) as well. There is the least amount of red states, but they stand out the most because of this. The independent variable in this infographic is the amount of homeless veterans in each state, and the dependent variable is the color of each state due to the amount of homeless veterans. The trend of the infographic is mostly positive, as most of the states are yellow, meaning less than 1% of its population are homeless veterans. Because of this positive trend, I can infer that the amount of homeless veterans in each state will hopefully decrease. But if the trend decreases, more homeless veterans will arise and cause that specific population to grow. My grandpa was a veteran, and I would hate to see him homeless. Veterans fought bravely for our country and should be honored, not living on the streets.

The first graph is made up of three pi charts that shows percentages of the USA's 18.2 million Veterans gender, age, and when they served. There is no x and y variables, but input includes a veteran's gender, age, and where they served. The graph shows a trend of a higher men veteran to women veteran ratio. I can assume this trend of a higher ratio of men will continue because only 8.9% of veterans are women making the amount of men veterans overwhelmingly high at a 91.1%. I personally know zero women veterans, but know multiples veterans who are male. This just further shows that this trend will most likely continue in the next ten years.

The second graph is an info graphic that shows the homeless veteran population from state to state. In this graph the state is the x value and the number of homeless veteran's is the y value. A noticeable trend seen in the graph is bigger states tend to have bigger homeless veterans populations. We can assume that the states with bigger homeless veteran populations will continue to rise because from 2016 to 2017 an increase of 585 homeless veteran's was recorded. Living in a bigger state myself I understand how expensive it is to live here and find a good paying job that doesn't require a degree of some sorts. Most veterans probably didn't go to college so finding a job that pays well to support themselves if probably hard.

The first graph shows statistics of veterans that served. It compares the genders of veterans, their ages, and they time periods in which they served. About 91% of veterans are male which equates to around 16.5 million people. The highest amount of veterans by age is 26.7% which is about 4.8 million people. The majority of veterans served during the Vietnam war at 35.7% or around 6.5 million people. I foresee the percentage of female veterans growing and the time period that they serve changing.

The second info graphic shows the homelessness rates of veterans in different states around the country. The info graphic shows that the states with higher populations like California, Texas, Florida and others have a high homelessness rate for veterans. States with smaller populations have much lower homelessness rates. I believe that this statistic will decrease within the next 10 years.

Graph #1 is 3 pie charts showing the percentage of the gender, age, and years of which 18.2 million veterans have served in 2017. There are no variables of the 3 pie charts, however, the dependent is the number of veterans who served and the independent is the gender, age, and the years of when they served. Trends that we can see in the 3 pie charts are most veterans are male, about 64-74 years old, and served in the Vietnam era. Looking at the 3 pie charts we can infer that more men will be veterans in the future and will continue to be. Also we can infer that the average age of veterans will get bigger as time goes by and the veterans get older. I have military in my family and they are male, which goes to show that the data of the amount of men greater to women to be true.

Graph #2 is a info graphic chart of the veterans in the U.S who are homeless in each state in 2017. There is no x and y variables, however, the independent variable is the state and the dependent variable is the amount of homeless veterans. There is a higher amount of homeless veterans in California and Florida and less amounts in the mid west. We can infer that in the future the number of homeless veterans will increase. We can also infer that the homeless veterans will increase mainly on the west coast as the numbers are higher compared to other regions of the U.S. Unfortunately, we see more and more homeless veterans roaming the streets and asking for money to live, not only in other cities but even in our own.

Graph #1 has 3 pie charts with data based on the veterans gender, how old they are, and when they served. The x is represented by the number of veterans and the y is represented by the percentage they are of the population. The graphs show a positive trend for the amount of veterans during the vietnam era. The data for veterans aged 55 and up will increase over time. My personal connection is that my grandpa is a veteran that is aged 55 and up.

Graph number 2 is a infographic chart showing the percentage of homeless vets in each state in the U.S. the x would be represented by the number of homeless veterans and the y is represented by the percentage in each state. the trend would be positive because the percentage of homeless veterans is on the rise. My inference would be that the percentage of homeless vets will increase over time. My personal connection would be seeing how many homeless people we have here in our own town of brea and wondering how many of them served our country

Graph 1 shows an "area chart" presenting the number of homeless veterans living in states of America. Graph 2 uses a "pie chart" to describe more into detail of the veterans' gender, age, and when they served. In graph 1, the independent variable is the number of homeless veterans in America and the dependent variable is the number of homeless veterans in different states. Graph 2 has three independent and dependent variables. The independent variables are the gender, age, and when they served. The dependent variables are the percentage that shows the comparisons of males and females, the comparisons of different ages, as well as the comparisons of the time when they served. Both graph 1 and 2 do not show correlations because the variables are not going in any direction. Inferences made from graph 1 is that there will be most homeless veterans in California and Florida in the future, and the least amount in the northern parts of US states by looking at the variables of the graph. Inferences made from graph 2 will continue to have more male veterans than females, most veterans will be ages 65 to 74 years old, and most veterans serving during the Vietnam Era. A personal connection with the the graphs is that in Korea, all males must serve in the military for 18 months. It used to be three years but as time passed the government shortened the time.

In graph 1 the trend got higher the closer they got to the present. The amount of men is much higher than the women in the graph. I think this graph will start to change as more women enter the military. I think that this is good, because the gender boundaries, aren't good at all.

In graph 2 it shows the amount of homeless vets in the USA. California had a VAST majority of the population. It shows the severity with various shades of red.I think that if we don't solve homelessness soon, then they all might be as red as California, which would be very bad.

The first graph is a pie chart that shows the different ages and genders of military veterans and the war/time period they served. The demographics are being shown through pieces in the pie chart that are color coded and match a category listed directly below the pie chart. The independent variable in these graphs are the number of veterans (18.2 million) and the dependent variables are what their gender is, their age, and when they served. The independent variable (number of veterans) is plotted in the x-axis and the dependent variable (categories/descriptions) is plotted on the y-axis. Trend in this data regarding veterans are that they are usually men between the ages of 65-74 who served in the Vietnam Era. There appears to be a correlation between the age of most veterans and the Vietnam Era since the Vietnam War began 66 years ago and ended 46 years ago. It can be inferred that there was a heavy military presence during the Vietnam Era considering the average age of veterans and how the were mostly males *(women weren’t being encouraged to go to war during this time period). I see there being more veteran women since *gender equality in the military is valued more now. I also see the percentages displayed in the pie chart getting smaller as more veterans come out of wars like the *War in Terrorism. Seeing how many veterans were from the Vietnam Era, it is my stance that we find better mental health programs for these veterans. Given their old age, mental health can be ignored for most veterans and it is estimated that *30% of Vietnam War veterans have PTSD.

Graph #2 is an infographic that displays and compares the amount of homeless veterans that live in each state of the United States of America. The independent variables are the states and the dependent variables are the homeless veterans and where they live. The independent variable (state) is plotted in the x-axis and the dependent variable (homeless veterans) is plotted on the y-axis. There is a positive correlation between *densely populated states and the amount of homeless veterans in them. The more people in a state, the more homeless veterans there are. I can infer that the high living costs in highly populated states and big cities leads to a high homeless population for veterans. It is no surprise that California, the most populated and *expensive state to live in, has the highest veteran homeless population. I predict that there will be less homeless veterans in big states and more in smaller states because these states will be overpopulated if people don’t migrate or move. I also see the number of homeless veterans decrease mainly due to less wars going on and there being better care of veterans after their service. I believe that government jobs should be open to more people in the military so that they can have a stable career to fall back on after their service. Relating back to my first graph, I would also want there to be better care of veterans so that they don’t have severe mental health problems that prevent them from getting jobs. In an ideal world, veterans should get more support because they matter just as much as any other person.

“*” detonates that outside evidence was done to support that statement. The links used below were used to make my conclusions.

Graph #1 describes the number of veterans and what percentage each group of veterans is in the pie chart. I noticed some trends that occurred in the graph that showed that a vast majority of veterans are male with 91.1% being male and the rest, female. I did not see any x or y values that represented the graph but noticed the trends that made up the graph. I also noticed that most of the graph is made up of veterans that fought during the Vietnam war, making up 35.7% of the graph. I can predict that the number of females that make up the veterans will likely increase in the next ten years due to reforms in the military and social changes that are occurring in the U.S.

Graph #2 describes the number of homeless people that are veterans residing in each state. There are no x or y variables, but there are various observations I can make about the graph and its trends. I can see that California is the worst when it comes to the number of veterans that are homeless. The reason for this problem probably resides in the fact that California has the largest population in the U.S and naturally the number of veterans as well. California also is well known for its high cost of housing and high taxes that some may not be able to afford. It is an unfortunate thing to see as veterans becoming homeless after military service is not the way to treat the heroes that protect the nation. I can foresee that in the next 10 years, the number of homeless people will likely decrease due to increases in technology and the cost of homes likely falling down due to more efficient ways to build them.

Graph #1

Graph 1 is a graph showcasing our nations veteran population as well as certain details about the population. It states that 7.3% of our population which is also seen as 18.2 million citizens are vets. The data shows the gender and age differences, as well as when the veterans served. The first graph displaying the gender percentage, is almost all blue, which means 91.1% veterans are male and leave 8.9% female. The age and when they served graph are divided some what evenly, the age displaying a graph from age 18-75 years old. The “When they served” graph shows a very small percentage that served in World War ll. The only way I see any of these graphs changing is the when they served one because the veterans from the wars and battles from a long time ago are going to start to pass. These graphs are relatable to most people because every other person knows someone who is a veteran or will be.
Graph #2

Graph 2 talks about the homeless population among the veterans and how it increases over the years. In 2017 there was a 585 homeless increase making the new total of homeless veterans 40,056. The graph shows the whole United States in their homeless population making California the highest homeless population for veterans, as a total of 11,472. The graph is color coordinated making yellow one percent of homeless veterans in the state, Orange being 1% to 2.9%, light red being 3% to 6% and dark red for being more than 6%. majority of the 50 states were yellow and orange and around forward light red, making Florida and California the only dark red states in the graph. I believe that if we don’t find a solution or add more veteran homeless shelters The numbers for all the states are just going to increase overtime. I relate to this graph because my grandpa is a veteran and his friends we’re homeless before my grandpa took them under his wing.

The 1st graph is 3 pi charts that show the percentages of the USAs 18.2million veterans age, gender, and location of where they served. These charts are comparing the age, gender, and location of war veterans.These charts show the vast majority of veterans are male with less female. I believe this trend shown in the charts that more men will enroll over woman will continue because Only 8.9 % of female veterans are making up the capacity compared to the mens 91.1%. I highly doubt this trend will change in 10 this relationship has been present in all the past wars with lots of time inbetween and it still hasn't differed.

The 2nd graph is an info graph that shows the homeless veteran population in each state by percentage. What is being compared is the amount of homeless vets are in each state. The x value is the state and the y value is the # of homeless vets. A common trend is visible that in bigger states there are more homeless vets. This is expected because there are more people living there causing more competition. It is harder for vets to find jobs since most don't have a higher education. In the next 10 years I can see the homeless vet population continue to the grow because prices will increase and living quality will decrease.
