[Title Here, up to 12 Words, on One to Two Lines]
In this report, an analysis will get conducted of the number of infected individuals in the major cities, and for each of the cities, the infected people will be categorized based on age groups which are; below 18 years group, 19-30 age group, 31-60 age group, and another group for 60 and above aged infected individuals. Using the categorization of the infected people, we will know which of the age groups are highly infected and which of the groups the least infected ones are. This information will also help us evaluate the prevalence rate demographically based on per 100,000 people division.
Through the age categorization, we can know which of the regions require which medical resources as the treatment for different age groups vary (DeVoe JE, 2009). There are different requirements for the treatment of different aged groups were the sixty age plus individuals need to listen correctly and want to get heard properly. If proper health methods get applied to the patients, then the patient's health improves significantly (Dubé, 2000). Health outcomes and patient mental behavior are dependent on the communication conducted with the provider and the patient. If communication is sufficient, then positive results in health are seen.
Gathered Data
The data obtained in the bar charts below show that the highest number of infected individuals from all the cities belong to the age group of under 657, after which the second highly infected age group is for the people aged 60 and above having 507 infected patients. The least infected age group is the 19-30 years aged people have total infections of only 85. For the cities, Miami, Phoenix, and Austin, the highest infected age group are below 18, whereas for Jacksonville and Houston, the highest number of infected patients belong to the age group of sixty and above. For the prevalence rates, in Jacksonville and Houston, the highest prevalence rate is in the sixty-plus age group, which are 0.149% and 0.106%, respectively. For Miami, Phoenix, and Austin, the highest prevalence rates are in below 18 individuals who are 0.17%, 0.145%, and 0.151%. While in all the cities, the prevalence rates are lowest in the 19-30 age group.

Conclusion
The data provided here shows that many of the infected people in the top five cities belong to the age groups of below 18 and people aged above 60. In comparison, the age group with the least number of infected people belongs to the age of 19-30. Overall, the prevalence in cities is low for all the age groups, but the results should not get ignored. We see that these five cities contribute significantly, so the age group's resources and medical care requirements of below 18 and above 60 will need to improve through healthcare literacy and patient advocacy.
