Final Project!!

Here is a map displaying all the Asian grocery stores in Fairfax County that were listed in the Yellow Pages as of 2008. This includes Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese, Thai, Filipino, Indian and Pakistani. The map is divided up into ten location zones: Alexandria/ Franconia, Springfield, Clifton/ Fairfax Station/ Lorton, Falls Church, Vienna/ Oakton, Fairfax/ Burke, Centreville/ Chantilly, Herndon/ Reston, and Great Falls/ McLean. I created the symbols that make a pattern around the map. The background is an image of natural paper.
Here are the links I used to find the data for this map:

Bivariate Map

Here is my bivariate map showing the percentage of each population that is black as the choropleth and the red cross symbols representing the population of each county that is uninsured medically. Before I started this map I thought there would be more of a corellation between the state's black population and the state's uninsured population. After making this map, the counties on the map with a black population over 40% were not as bad off in terms of uninsured residents than many majority-white and more racially mixed counties. However the counties with the most uninsured residents were all the state's major population centers.

Canadian Election Map

Relevant to our own elections that will be occurring next week, here is a map of Canada's recent parliamentary elections a few weeks ago. Unlike the United States which is pretty much a two-party system, Canada has many more active political parties.

Equal Interval Choropleth Map

This is a choropleth map I made with percentages dividing data up into equal intervals. I used information from the 2006 census based on how much of each state's population worked in manufacturing jobs.

Natural Breaks Choropleth Map

This is a choropleth map I made with the percentages divided up along the natural breaks in the data. I used information from the 2006 census based on how much of each state's population worked in manufacturing jobs.

Fauquier County Dot Map

Here is a 2000 census map of Fauquier County, Virginia. Notice the sprawl growing out from the city of Warrenton.
