Neighborhood Quality
Although I will be unable to participate in the presentation I alluded to last week, I am happy to report it proved quite feasible to prepare a package of example data in Google Earth format. I have provided a single self-contained KMZ file to my colleagues. It contains a variety of map overlays organized in folders, including labels and some descriptive annotations.
The interpolated surface in the screenshot above depicts the results of a survey assessing middle and high school student perceptions of neighborhood quality. My house lies just inside a hot spot. I look forward to plotting the results of the most recent edition of this survey. We’ll test the landlady’s opinion about neighborhood decline!
