Lab 1: Quantitative Map



Quantitative Map:
The quantitative map shows the ratio of children age 5 to 17. The data is numerical and represents the percentage of the population that has that age range of children in each census block of Buffalo, New York. I have changed several things on this map, most notibly the color scheme. The previous color scheme was too abrasive and may be better suited for a qualitative map. There is some gradation in the redesigned map and better represents numerical data. I put in a frameline and neatline, changed the title to better represent the map and reduced the title on the legend. These make for better contrast and understanding of the data represented.
