The Importance of Data Collection

What is our project?

In order to respond to the question of “Who is my neighbor,” our group conceptualized the answer through our creation of data-based maps. These maps, compiled from datasets made publicly available via the Minnesota Department of Education, The Minnesota Department of Statistics, the Minnesota Department of Health, and the Minnesota Geospatial Commons, all offer different visuals to help you understand “who” may be your potential neighbor.
