This section provides examples using the DDA Viewer for neighborhoods in the Rome City School District, NY.

 

See related section in Applications Gallery -- http://proximityone.com/gallery/guide/ny_rome.htm

 

Developing insights ... examining demographic patterns and change by neighborhood.

... see how demographics of a multi-tract study area (as an example) changed between 2008 and 2010.

... examine "richer demographics" based on the ACS 2010 data not available from Census 2010.

... examine/compare/contrast attributes of individual tracts.

... examine demographics for total area and how the population is changing.

 

The CommunityViewer (CV) GIS software (http://proximityone.com/cv.htm) site analysis tool is used to select geography for analysis in the DDA Viewer.  Census tracts are used in this application.

 

The geographic area codes are saved to a file that is then processed by DDA Viewer.
