After a very fun and difficult semester we are officially done with our last assignment being our final project. For the assignment we got to choose what we wanted to analyze and basically do what a GIS Analyst does. I decided to do my assignment on the relation between income and crime rate, so I did my lab on my hometown of Lithia, FL and compared the income and crimes committed to the city of Palm River. As you can see from the map above that there is a big relation to income and crime rates, I found that because of Palm River's lower mean income there were more crimes reported in the area compared to Lithia with a much higher mean income having only five crimes being committed. The lab really tested us because we were tasked to use all of the knowledge gained from this semester and to use it on this project. There were difficult times but it wasn't too bad just very time consuming, but all around I feel very confident in my knowledge of GIS programming. Here is my final presentation so you have an idea of what I was trying accomplish.
