The primary objective of the data analysis was to identify statistically signicant predictors of the sidewalk conditions evaluated by the City of Salinas. In summary, we found that income and education are statistically signicant predictors. Because it was an observational study not an experimental study, the students and the instructor agreed that the data could not verify any causal relationship against social justice. The data suggest, however, the sidewalk condition tends to be worse in lower income areas.
