Maps & Graphics

For the HealthLandscape website, I suggest that you use the left-side pull down, look for QuickMaps and then click on the bar labeled QuickMaps.  Then click on the MAP IT button.  Select the Tools button pull-down.  Mark the check-boxes by the QuickMaps and also the ACS QuickMaps (5-year).  Close the Tools pull-down.  On the right side-bar, you can now select a characteristic to view on the map.

For the Mapping America: Every City, Every Block website, click on the View More Maps button.  This will allow you to select from one of four topics:  Race & Ethnicity, Income, Housing and Families, and Education.
