Income Volatility & Health
Course research project · QAC 201 · Fall 2025
Using the U.S. National Financial Well-Being Survey, I explored how income volatility, self-reported health, and living arrangements are related among non-retired respondents.
- Survey observations
- 6,394
Method
I cleaned and recoded the data in Stata, used chi-square tests and multivariable logistic regression, and designed the poster in Figma.
What I found
High income volatility was more common among respondents reporting poor health. In a separate model of living arrangements, moderate volatility was associated with higher odds of living with someone, while high volatility showed no association. These are associations, not causal effects.
