Lab 1: Qualitative Map

Qualitative:

The purpose of the qualitative map was to show what the dominant race was in Buffalo, New York. The data represented in this map is nominal. This is just to show where where the majority of each selected race is present. The map is effective in showing the spatial location of the data. In this map I changed some of the map elements. I added a neatline and a frameline and made the outside grey to better highlight the map. I put a frame arund the legend as well to help distinguish it from the map but without drawing too much attention. I left the colors the same as they adequately portray the data without being too eye jarring. I made the map figure itself larger to eliminate more white space.
