The next two slides show two major ‘types’ of data – point & thematic.
Point data –What we call “point data” is information that we have for particular locations or resources. This is a map of food banks & food pantries in San Francisco. We have detailed service information for social service resources such as this, as well as schools and hospitals. Later we’ll be creating asset maps, so we’ll be drawing from this point data.
New point data…Over the last year we’ve reached out to 2-1-1 agencies across the state to display their data.We’ve also added Hospitals, Head Start agencies, as well as other points that have often been requested - Alcohol Outlets, EPA sites, etc.
Thematic data – This is a map showing where there is a concentration of families in poverty in California. Thematic maps display intensity of information (such as demographic, health, or socioeconomic characteristics) about a region by drawing from the many data sources we house.
Viewing point and thematic data together enables you to get an initial picture of the distribution of resources, while understanding a particular characteristic about an area. For example, are there educational resources in areas with low educational attainment? Is there access to fresh food in areas with a high concentration of people with diabetes?
