What is the source for the data that’s represented in the map? Did the data come from the US Census, the American Community Survey, or some other source?
List all the variables that are displayed in the map or that are being used to create the map (be sure to include the variables you selected a specific value for from a drop down menu that helped to generate the map). Are they categorical or quantitative when measured for an individual person/business? What about when summarized for each county or state? You may have to look up how certain variables are defined and measured. What you learn about your variables would be great to include in your project so your reviewers understand. To figure out if a variable is categorical or quantitative, you might have to figure out where the data came from first. Did it come from a survey or through some other means? If it came from a survey, what was the question on the survey? I encourage you to be a detective and dig into the finer details. It’s a good practice to get into whenever you’re looking at data and statistics.
Is your variable being measured over time in this map or just at one time?
Write a one-paragraph explanation of what the trends in the map are showing you. For example, are there trends on each of the coasts, or in more urban areas? Also, if any statistical terms (for example, “median,” “correlation,” “confidence interval” etc.) are used by the Census Bureau, please define the terms and explain them in the context of your map.
What related information would you like to know related to the data in this map, and is this something that the Census Bureau can get information about? Why or why not? (“Nothing” is not an acceptable answer. Your response must be relevant to the content.)
