Assignment 6
Resources
Part 1: Visualizing many points
Pick one of the ways we've looked at mapping many points--heatmaps or hexbins--to understand the density of one of the following datasets:
- Inside Airbnb (scroll down to New York City and download listings.csv)
- NYC Street Tree Census
- Or another dataset of your choosing. Pick one with many points.
As in previous assignments, focus on a neighborhood or other relatively small area.
Create a PDF using a QGIS Print Layout and attach it here as a response.
Part 2: Carto
Next week we will start looking at Carto. The New School has an agreement with the company that lets us give more space to students as needed. To take advantage of this, please create a login with your New School email address using this link if you haven't already.
If you already have a Carto account with your New School email address and the above link does not work as a result, please login to your existing account and change the email address associated with it, then try signing up again.
You don't have to do anything else with Carto for now, we will start talking about it next week.
Submitting Your Work
For Part 1, use a QGIS Print Layout to create a PDF or image. Make sure to add map accessories such as legends, titles, and scale bars as appropriate. Refer to your sources as appropriate. You don't need to submit anything for Part 2.
Finally, include a short summary of what you did for this assignment. Explain what you created and how you did so. What did you have problems with? What did you enjoy? What would you like to know how to do next?
