Description of all attributes obtained from the survey and Census data. These attributes represent nodal information for Census block groups. Census data from: https://factfinder.census.gov/faces/nav/jsf/pages/index.xhtml.

Attribute	Description
Survey
P	Number of participants residing in the block group

E	Predominant race(s) within the block group

There are a total of eight attributes collected from the survey and Census data, however, R, E and I were excluded from testing as all block groups had values too similar to warrant analysis. The remaining five attributes – P, F, G, S, and M, – were used in the analyses explored in the remainder of the paper.
