This research paper investigates the impact of income inequality on community health and economic development in Iran. Income inequality is a pervasive issue with significant social and economic implications. In this study, we analyze the relationship between income inequality, community health indicators, and economic development measures in Iran. By employing statistical analysis and econometric modeling, we examine the extent to which income inequality influences community health outcomes and economic progress. The findings provide insights into the complex interplay between income inequality, community health, and economic development, and offer valuable implications for policymakers seeking to address inequality and promote sustainable socio-economic growth in Iran.
