SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING AND DISPLAYING STATISTICAL DATA GEOGRAPHICALLY

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for integration distinct data sets to provide a multidimensional view of a phenomenon of interest. For example, a method is disclosed comprising obtaining at least one first characteristic value associated with a first geographically defined area of a plurality of geographically defined areas and a plurality of second characteristic values each associated with a census tract of a plurality of census tracts; assigning census tracts to the first geographically defined area when the census tracts lie completely within the first geographically defined area; identifying one or more census tracts of the plurality of census tracts that intersect the first geographically defined area; and assigning the identified one or more census tracts to the first geographically defined area based on a comparison of a sum of the second characteristic values of the identified one or more census tracts against the at least one first characteristic value of the first geographically defined area.
