This document summarizes a presentation on redistricting in Wisconsin. It discusses the state's population changes between 2000 and 2010, with increases among all minority groups. It also reviews the history of redistricting in Wisconsin and outlines a research question comparing the concentration of racial/ethnic groups within legislative districts between 2001 and 2011. The results show that while the percentage of minority populations increased in most districts, the counts of districts with a majority of specific minority groups also increased from 2000 to 2010.

With the Decennial Census’s “Long-Form” data it was sometimes easy for data users to forget there were margins of error associated with each measure.With many detailed socioeconomic characteristics now being sourced, instead, through the American Community Survey, margins of error are much larger and more difficult to ignore.This presentation explores several methods for those mapping ACS data to address the challenge of showing measures of reliability alongside the attributes of interest.
Janet L. Ady presented on the Locate in Wisconsin application. She discussed how the site selection process works through a top-down, funnel approach. Most business inquiries start with a request for an available building. Locate in Wisconsin allows businesses to search Wisconsin properties meeting their criteria and view community profiles. It also allows communities to promote available properties and themselves. The presentation encouraged economic development organizations to enter their properties and outlined how GIS professionals could help expand the application's data.
In 2011, the State Cartographer’s Office announced a new pilot project to develop an updated and more accurate Public Land Survey System digital dataset for the state of Wisconsin. Beginning with a nine-county sample set, our goal was to develop and test methods to aggregate more accurate local survey information, which could serve as a revision and update to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Landnet dataset that was published in the 1990s. As we approach the conclusion of our pilot project, we wish to update the geospatial community as to the results of our pilot project and highlight the significant challenges
we faced and adjustments we made to our data model during the integration of multi-county datasets.

Missing Pieces: Women and Minorities on BoardsKevin Carter
The document summarizes a 2010 census on gender and racial/ethnic diversity among directors on Fortune 500 boards. It finds that while women and minorities now represent around half of the US population, white men continue to dominate Fortune 500 boards, holding around three-quarters of board seats. In the six years since the previous census, white male representation on these boards has increased while representation of women and minorities has remained low. The census calls for greater inclusion of diverse leaders on corporate boards to reflect changing demographics and ensure business success.

Here are some key reasons why Mexicans come to the U.S. to shop:
- Better prices on name brand items. Many popular clothing, shoe and accessory brands are significantly cheaper in the U.S. compared to Mexico. This includes brands like Bebe, Guess, Michael Kors and others.
- More options and variety. Retail stores in the U.S., especially malls, offer a much larger selection of brands, styles, sizes and colors compared to Mexican retailers. This gives Mexican shoppers more choices.
- Access to exclusive brands. Some brands are simply not available for purchase in Mexico but can be found in U.S. stores. Cross-border shopping gives Mexicans access to a
The document analyzes the demographics of Milton, Massachusetts, and the United States, and compares them to the literature commonly associated with those places. It presents data on the racial breakdown of each location, and lists examples of literature tied to the largest demographic groups. It then notes that while the typical literature presented for these places is focused on white authors, the population diversity is not fully reflected. As such, the current body of American literature does not accurately portray the diversity of the US population.
Hypertension rates vary significantly among Hispanic subgroups in the US. Mexican Americans have the highest rates of heart disease and diabetes mortality compared to other Hispanic subgroups like Puerto Ricans and Cuban Americans. Lifestyle and environmental factors contribute to high blood pressure control among Hispanics. Recommendations are needed to eliminate health disparities and improve hypertension management in the heterogeneous Hispanic population.
This document summarizes the results of an engagement process in North Quincy and Wollaston, Massachusetts that used a game-based learning tool called Community PlanIt. Key findings include:
- The Asian population in Quincy has grown significantly and now comprises over 24% of the city's population. However, the immigrant Asian community struggles to engage in planning efforts.
- The engagement activities aimed to better understand community needs and develop a task force to launch a Community PlanIt workshop. Over 100 people played the game providing over 1,000 comments.
- Analysis of the game responses showed that the Asian population is growing in the schools and certain neighborhoods. Transportation and locally-owned businesses were seen as strengths
The document summarizes statistics about the Latino voting population in Boston from 2000 to 2014. It finds that while the overall number of Latino potential voters grew 60% during this period, the percentage of Latino adults who were eligible to vote declined slightly. Latino voters tend to be younger, lower income, and less educated than the general voting population. The neighborhoods of Dorchester and East Boston have the largest numbers of Latino residents but Dorchester has the highest number eligible to vote.

This document discusses the land records review process in one county to identify common mistakes. It describes how the county assistant surveyor reviews Certified Survey Maps (CSMs), subdivision plats, and condominium plats submitted for recording, though not plats of survey. The review aims to ensure compliance with regulations and address issues like accurate parcel boundaries, public safety, and environmental concerns before updating tax and land records. The surveyor drafts parcel boundaries in CAD software and checks for errors in distances, areas, and legal descriptions compared to the submitted survey. Comments are provided to the applicant and other county departments for revision before recording.
This document summarizes research analyzing spatial patterns of usage of the WHAIFinder mapping tool to measure the effectiveness of community outreach. Usage data from over 16,000 visits by nearly 10,000 unique visitors over one year was collected and analyzed. Results found relatively uniform usage across Wisconsin with some underserved areas. A statistical model found a moderate relationship between visitor numbers and county population, and a stronger relationship with broadband access, though some variance remained unexplained. The research provides a quantitative method to evaluate information delivery and identify opportunities to improve outreach goals.

PRORAGIS is a national database launched in 2011 by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) that allows park and recreation agencies to input data about their operations to benchmark against peers. It merged two previous NRPA tools - an operating ratio study and a GIS mapping model. Agencies can use PRORAGIS to compare budgets, facilities, and programs with similar agencies, assist with master planning, and help justify funding requests. Inputting data is free for agencies and involves filling out an online profile with information about jurisdiction, departments, programs, budgets, personnel, facilities, and maps of parks, trails, and amenities.
The document provides a summary of the top 10 accomplishments for the GeoMoose project in 2012. Key points include establishing a project steering committee and request for comments process, completing the OSGEO incubation process, rewriting code to be more extensible, integrating the Dojo toolkit, improving documentation, developing more extensions and hooks, rewriting vector and feature editing layers, contributions from volunteers and funding partners, and plans for continued collaboration and a 2013 roadmap.
This document presents elevation hydrology tools that simplify watershed delineation and analysis. The tools allow for clipping data to an area of interest to reduce size, and streamlining processes like flow direction, accumulation, and stream network derivation. They also enable watershed delineation and attribute calculation, including area, average slope, and runoff curve number. The document provides an overview of Python scripting solutions used and defines the runoff curve number as an empirical parameter for predicting runoff or infiltration from rainfall excess that is widely used to determine approximate direct runoff from rainfall events based on land cover and soil group.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

Editor's Notes
The Applied Population Lab is a group of research and outreach professionals located within the Department of Community and Environmental Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We specialize in providing demographic information to individuals and groups in the State of Wisconsin and elsewhere. We have been providing small area population estimates and projections since the mid-1960s.Today I will be discussing redistricting in the State of Wisconsin and how race/ethnic groups are concentrated within the Assembly Districts.
Overall State Population 2000 & 2010 by race/ethnicity.
There are several components to the redistricting statutes that were adopted in the 1980s. The part of the statutes that I’m interested in for this research states that assembly and senate districts maintain the integrity of the political subdivisions & of communities of interest.In the summer of 2011 these laws were rewritten.
Act 39 & Act 43So what did this mean for the redistricting process. . .In 2001, local governments utilized WISE-LR to create wards. After this process was complete ward boundaries were given to the legislature.In 2011, local governments had already begun the process of creating ward boundaries (using WISE-LR) when the legislature adopted these new laws, Act 39 and Act 43, creating the senate and assembly districts.
My purpose today is to investigate how do racially and ethnically distinct groups within Wisconsin’s legislative districts compare between 2001 and 2011?The intent of the law has been to create districts that will enhance participation of different racial or ethnic minority groups in the political process. I’m interested in making this comparison to see if the outcome from two different processes created districts that would then provide an opportunity for participation by members of racial or language minority groups.Data - Shapefiles downloaded from the Legislative Technology Services Bureau: http://legis.wisconsin.gov/ltsb/redistricting/data.htm
Change in population (over 18 yrs old) from 2000 to 2010Non-Hispanic White Majority - % White has decreasedwhile three other race/ethnic groups (African American, Hispanic, Asian) has increased from 2000 to 2010. American Indian has remained relatively the same.
Now if we look at the same information in a graph form some additional observations can be made. Of the different race/ethnic groups in the State of Wisconsin White and to some degree Native Americans are less diverse than African American, Hispanic , and Asian.
Similar patterns from 2000 to 2010. Non-Hispanic white decreases while other race and ethnic groups increase.More diversity within majority minority populations or is the population more dispersed throughout the state?
