exercise 11 Mapping GIS Data

Chloropleth maps of ethnicity desities in New York city

This exercise required us to use only ARCMAP to creat four different maps of one city out of a group of four and create four different cholorpleth maps of that city showing where different ethnicity populations are concentrated. this is one of two maps that we were required to make soley in ARCMAP this made the process a little harder since we had to relearn how to make maps in the program. I chose to make my maps of New York City and map where African American, Asian, Hispanic and Caucasion  populations are concentrated in the area. The data used was obtained from the US Census and the base maps were produced in ARCMAP. The biggest problem i had was figuring out how to rename the data to make it more readable by changing the class break classifacation. With this map it was very fun to finally be able to learn the easy way to make chloropleth maps without using Adobe Illustrator.
