Maps

So one of the classes I am going through this semester is one that focuses on how to do spacial modeling of things.  This is kind of fun because most anything that happens in the 'social world' is also tied to the specific location.  Places have different laws, taxes, different programs with more of less funding, different jobs... you get the idea.  Below is just a quick one I made the other day for class, but is fun because it is a map.  And I made it.

Anyways, this is a map showing the distribution of poverty for people under 18 years old by county.  Children in poverty is tied to a lot of other things and blah blah blah.  Enjoy.  (and you can click on that there map and make it bigger)
