Mapping Geographic Data

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data is associated with a specific location or geography, such as geocoded address points, census blocks/tracts, zip codes, counties, states, and other location-based information, and is used to visualize trends within their geographic context. Mapping GIS data is especially valuable for analyzing electoral districts and mapping environmental justice issues.
