Data Classification

This week we looked at how different classifications presents the same data sets.  We also looked at how these same classifications presented a 2nd similar set of data.  The map I will share will focus on the percent population of individuals over the age of 65 residing in Miami-Dade County. 


I chose to share this map because it actually shows the greater variation of classification representation on all the maps.  I fell that this is due to the values of the datasets from the two different maps.  The two different data sets were percent of citizens over 65 and the total number of citizens over 65 normalized per square mile.  So you can see that the class ranges for the percent values when from 0 to just under 80%.  In the other map, the values went from 0 to 13,190.  This wider range of values led to more washing out of the census tracts on that map when compared to the percent over 65 map. 

For fun, here is the total population over 65 map as well.  Enjoy!
