Week 6

The map below shows the best places to live in Alachua County, according to the couple's specifications. Each specification had an equal weight in the top map. The bottom map was unequally weighted. Distance from UF and the hospital were both weighted at 40% and median house value and age were weighted at 10% each. The orange outlined census tracts are the best places to live according to the specifications. The unequally weighted specifications allow the best areas to live to be closer to the couple's jobs. Descreasing the weight of age and median home value makes the best areas to live closer to the school and hospital. This will allow the couple to avoid traffic, like they wanted.

The map below shows each of the couple's specifications for finding a house. I did not have any problems with this lab. It was fun and interesting.
