I’m writing in hopes to request your assistance with some cartography. We’re creating an app for the Address Opioid Epidemic initiative that will show the different kinds of demographics that are being served/underserved by drug treatment facilities and struggling to effectively convey all the information.
Goal:
City officials can view the map and determine if there are areas that are underserved with regards to access to drug treatment facilities.
Data:
Drug treatment facilities
5, 10, 15 minute, and 15+ minute drive time areas
Geo-enriched census blocks:
Health insurance (consumer spending)
Education attainment
Tapestry segmentation
Population in renter occupied houses
Population in owner occupied houses
Rough drafts we have so far:
• Version #1 – map draws the drive time areas and the census blocks – all enrichment data is in the attribute table for people to peruse
o http://dcdev.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=16164420c93f472594d098ee73e0a949
• Version #2 – map draws census blocks clipped to drive time areas – enrichment data displayed as choropleth. User can toggle layers for different drive time areas (only completed for health insurance)
o http://arcg.is/1L0a4n
Version #1 is a lot of numbers in a table and I don’t think version #2 will work in app form. Ideally, we’d have a web app where the user can select both the drive time areas of interest and the enrichment value of interest to see how the map changes, but from reading through this blog post it seems that might only be possible with the JSAPI.
Are you able to provide any tips or suggestions for how to communicate this info?
Courtney Claessens requested some data wrangling and map creation help for the Hub's Address Opioid Epidemic initiative. Here is the story map we provided her that guides the Hub group through one method of determining underserved areas with regards to access to drug treatment facilities: http://urbanobservatory.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Cascade/index.html?appid=b3e4185b474b4949b56b29c6631ef16a
