As you reflect on the community in which you belong, keep in mind there are environmental factors based on the geographic location of your community that can affect community health. The geopolitical location of your community can help to evaluate the population of your community. For example, what are the community boundaries, climate, vegetation, and infrastructure of the transportation system, to name a few? All of these environmental factors can contribute to the health of your community. Does this help to clarify the geopolitical location of a population?
