Week 6: Homing in on Alachua County, FL

This blog contains three maps and a hyperlink to a Project Summary. The first map shows a base map for Alachua County including places, roads, and recreation areas.



The second map layout shows four map insets that delineate Euclidean distances from the North Florida Regional Medical Center and University of Florida, Percentage of population in 40-49 year age range (by census tract), and median house value (by census tract).



The third map shows the weighted overlays for ranking of the four house selection parameters. In the first case, the four parameters were assigned equivalent ranking (25:25:25:25), while in the second case, the Euclidean distances to the hospital and university were each assigned a ranking of 40% and the two other parameters were each assigned a ranking of 10%.



Project Summary

Here are modifications of map 2 and map 3 to be more "colorful". Initially, I created the maps to follow a color trend (an intensity ramp), but I wanted to try this to for effectiveness.
