The census of the Asian race shows that many Asians tend to reside in the Southern Californian to Arizonian counties of the United States. Furthermore, this depicts their populations on the continental US. These are the Asian populations that were accounted for in the US census bureau. The data used for this map came from their sources. The lighter shades depict low percentages while the darker shades depict the higher percentages.
The census of the Black race shows that many Blacks tend to reside in the southeastern counties of the United States. Furthermore, this depicts their populations on the continental US. These are the Black populations that were accounted for in the US census bureau. The data used for this map came from their sources. The lighter shades depict low percentages while the darker shades depict the higher percentages.
The census of the "Some Other" race shows that many "Some Others" tend to reside in the western and southwestern counties of the United States. Furthermore, this depicts their populations on the continental US. These are the "Some Other" populations that were accounted for in the US census bureau. The data used for this map came from their sources. The lighter shades depict low percentages while the darker shades depict the higher percentages.
CONCLUSION:
For all three maps, the USA Continguous Lambert Conformal Conic was used as the projection. The purpose of this choice was to depict the sizes of the counties more accurately, providing more clarity between the shades of each county.
My census map series allows a nice overview of different races throughout the country and where these people are most populous. Using GIS and ArcMap to create the census map series was very useful. It is easier now to use the program; making myself more familiarized with the system has allowed me to understand the elements of the program better. GIS is fun now that I know how to use the programs more efficiently.
