ArcMap: City of Buffalo, race by block

These maps illustrate dominant race by block. Both examples are qualitative and use a three color scheme. The original map had the same color background (light blue) as the “Children by Block” map and so that could be confusing as well as the fact that the two colors of blue are too close in value. On the new map I used a sand color that distinguishes it from the children’s map and also provides better contras from the blue content color of the map. The new map shows a section of blocks as “Other” which the original map did not have. I improved the scale and the legend title and was also able to zoom in just a bit more. This map also has a “Lake Erie” label.
