GIS 6005 LAB 4
Looking at my color ramps, you can easily see I struggled pretty significantly with calculating an even color ramp, from linear progression to adjusted progression. Although performing the calculations was basic math (which can still be challenging!) I found myself having to readjust the values manually, regardless of my calculation. Clearly, the results from Colorbrewer are clean and without deviation, demonstrating that once again, computers can do things best!
For the choropleth population change map, I calculated North Dakota's percent change from 2014 to 2010. I found this interesting because so much of North Dakota has decreased in population or is barely increasing. My design choices including using Jenks Natural Breaks to classify values in classes of 5. I chose this method because I felt it best represented the severity of many of North Dakota's Counties which have a declining or barely increasing population, in comparison with the Equal Interval Classification and Quantile Classification.
