They had several criteria about where they would want to live. The grandparents wanted to live:
- Close to family and their grandkids
- Close to the North Florida Regional Medical Center (NFRMC)
- Close to the University of Florida
- In a neighborhood with a high percentage of people 65 years old and up
- In a neighborhood with high home values
- Close to bus routes
Based upon these criteria I generated these maps and a report for the grandparents.
This is a basemap of Alachua County, FL, with roads, census tracts, places and public lands indicated.
I created maps showing the physical location and distance surroundings of the landmarks important to this couple.
I also visually summarized house value and age census data by census tracts.
The tough part of this lab was creating overlays to combine data to determine which census tracts best met the grandparents criteria.
I summarized all my analysis in this report for the grandparents.
