Updates on Charlottesville census data + maps!

Building on the census finding work I did a few weeks, I've started to map out the Latino community in Charlottesville using the following sources:
- GIS Data folder of Scholars Lab computers in UVA's Alderman Library
- http://www.charlottesville.org/Index.aspx?page=1674 (Charlottesville's GIS data source!)
- http://censusviewer.com/city/VA/Charlottesville 
- http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/51/51540lk.html 

Mapping Exercise #1 - Where is the Latino community concentrated in Charlottesville? 

May be hard to see, but the  Latino population is indicated by the blue dots. 

In this map, we note the Latino populations by the blue dots and the non-Latino populations are in pink. If you zoom in, you can see the blue mass around Southwood and some around Rio Rd, as well.

Mapping Exercise #2 - Where are health, social, and community services located in Charlottesville?

Definitely a work in progress, this is the first map I've made with ArcGIS! The services that are labeled here in blue are from dataset of the cultural organizations around Charlottesville kept on the Scholar's Lab computers in Alderman. 

Next steps are to enhance the second map to include the following layers - 1) the locations of the services we interviewed and addressed in the community survey, 2) the Latino community in Charlottesville, and 3) Charlottesville bus routes. Just e-mailed our contact at Albermarle's GIS office to see if we can get our hands on this data! Keep your fingers crossed and stay tuned for the next update.
