WEEK 9

Crime doesn't pay.............but we can analyze it to save pain, suffering, and money.

Analysis of Home Sites In Maricopa County, AZ

This analysis was done for Dr. Homer Smith and Dr. Amy Smith to analyze the factors of a home purchase in Maricopa County, AZ. The criteria for these searches included locations near Chandler Regional Hospital, near Phoenix College, age group of 40 to 49 years old, and high house values. Two separate analysis where ran. Map 1 shows the criteria weight being equal between each. Map 2 increases the weight of being closer to the work places. Although the weights of each map vary, the same areas near the communities of Chandler and Paradise Valley deem areas that meet the criteria that have been requested.

It is recommended that these areas should be considered a priority in the selection of purchasing a home based on these criteria.

This is my project for Week Three. The directions were alittle confusing but I made it through. I understand the theory behind where to look for data. Analyzing it is the tricky part. I am getting better though.

Page seems so blank so I wanted to get started by posting so sampling of my work at my job. I work for an electric cooperative. There is a ton of information on this tiny map (and we cover 5 counties in south Alabama). And it is growing everyday as I learn from these classes.

This isn't really my "job". This is what I do for fun for atleast 40+ hours per week. :)
