Geographic Data Visualizations
We introduce the fundamental concepts behind how mapping software works.
In this video, we learn how to apply the skills and concepts we have learned throughout the toolkit to explore a hypothetical question. What impact do green spaces, such as parks, have on the health of the people that live near them? In part 1, we find a publically available shapefile and map it on Tableau.

In part 2, we find a publically available dataset with information on asthma rates, link it to the census blocks in San Francisco, and make a heatmap to show how those rates are distrubuted throughout the city.
