Race
Cultural diversity
Restaurants
Grocery stores
Health care facilities
Post offices
Conduct a windshield survey of your community, focusing specifically on anything that influences community health. Compile your findings into a spreadsheet or document.

Describe the community you have selected for your windshield survey and rationale for selecting this community.
Describe the various cultural, ethnic, and religious groups you are observing.
