This project entailed deciding on the optimum location for a couple relocating to Alachua County Florida. The primary concerns for the couple were to find a location that was convenient to both of their employment locations, in a residential area occupied primarily by people aged 40-49, and finally, and area with high property value. Data was analyzed, and 3 maps were produced.The first map is a base map, which depicts primary features of the area, such as the county, roads, towns, Census tracts, and current public land use. This gives the audience a general layout of the area for familiarization.
The second map takes the 4 basic reqirements into consideration individually: Distance from the college, where the husband is employed. - Distance from the hospital, where the wife is employed. Areas with higher concentrations of people age 40-49.
- Areas where the median home values are higher.
The third and final map combines the factors in two different ways:
The first weighs each of the 4 factors equally, and the second puts more weight on the distances to each place of employment. In the second, the age and home value were less of a concern. In each situation, 3 tracts were selected as possible candidates based on what was percieved as the optimum location.
