Week 10





Here are two of my maps for Week 10. It's been a pretty frustrating week, but one thing that I did learn is if something doesn't seem to be working the way it should then start fresh. Save the layers and close Arcmap and change servers. It's as if Arcmap freezes up but you can't really tell except that things aren't working the way they are supposed to.

This map shows the frequency of Auto Thefts during certain times of the day. As you can see, evenings tend to have the most, followed by afternoons.


This map shows the police stations of Washington, D.C. and the crimes committed in the area. With this map, you can see where the most crimes are committed and where there may be a need for more police stations. I recommend the two locations symobolized with a yellow star for new police stations. I chose these two locations because they seem to have a high crime rate and could use some more protection. The graph shows you each police station and the amount of crimes committed near each one.
