This first map shows the population breakdown by US county for percent Asian. I used a green-based graduated color system to represent the density of percentage change. As the map shows, the highest density of asian population percentage are present along the west coast, as well as the Northeast United States. The more inland off both coasts, the less asians make up a part of the total county population.
This second map shows the population breakdown by US county for percent Black. I used a red-based graduated color system to represent the density of percentage change. As the map shows, the highest density of black population percentage are present within the Southeast United States. There also appears to be a slightly higher black population percentages within Southern California. Much of the northern part of the United States is characterized by low densities of black citizens.
The third map shows the population breakdown by US county for percent "Some Other Race". I used a random graduated color system to represent the density of percentage makeup. As the map shows, the highest density of 'some other race' population percentage are present within the Southwest United States. The Midwest and Northeast are mainly characterized by counties of low percentages of other races.
I am very impressed with the power and capability of GIS. My ability to spatially and even temporally manipulate and represent data is extremely important in conveying points in a scholarly manner. This course has taught me many the basic fundamentals needed to operate the program, yet I still want to learn many more of the advanced functions and processes. I plan to use GIS in my future work endeavors no matter what field it may be.
