Notas do Editor
- Agenda Slide
- If the participants mentioned these in the previous slides, just say “as you mentioned”. The last point mention that this is where their experience, knowledge and research comes in, that numbers on their own really don’t mean much.
- We have data from a wide variety of sources such as the US Census, CA Health Interview Survey, CA Dept of Ed and more. We also have User Uploaded data which is clearly labeled as such on HC.org and which we do not verify or vet. Here are some tips for vetting data sources you encounter.
- Complete list of all of our data sources with links back to their websites.
- Variables: Ages 0-5, Percentage AdvancedIndicators: Age, 3rd Grade English-Language Arts LevelsSuppose you only have data, such as population, by county. Can you “aggregate” the data and come up with a population value for a larger geography like state?
- Indicator: Gen. CharacteristicVariable: Specific CharacteristicData Levels: Although your community or place may be identified by specific street boundaries, geographies are spatial (non-physical) boundaries, such as census tracts or ZIP codes. Administrative data, or data collected by persons, organizations or departments of government for their own purposes but often made available for public use, is usually collected for these geographies. To use this type of data in your research, particularly for making comparisons over time using multiple years of data, you will need to determine which geographies represent your community or place.Universe: Population/people included in the datasetMetadata is data about data! Source, year, methodology, geographical coverage, description of indicator/variables, data levels available.
- Here’s where you’ll see all those things in the Map Room. In addition, click customize to modify your map. You can change the color scheme and the data ranges among other things.
- Today we’ll look at two of the functions on HC.org: Maps and Charts. We’ll start with maps.You can access thematic data in the Map Room either by clicking on the Maps link at the top of the page or by using one of the quick links in the middle of the page which let you skip a few steps if you already know what you want to do.
- We now see a map of HS grads in the city of Riverside. In this box you will see the name of the indicator you chose along with its metadata such as description, universe, source, year. As well as the data level, which is the geography at which the data is displayed. In this case it is Census Tract but if you were mapping the whole state of CA, you may want to look at a different data level such as County. HC.org automatically chooses a data level for you based on the geography you choose. However, you can always change it here if you want to see more/less detail (as long as data is available at multiple levels).Second, you’ll notice the legend in the bottom right corner, this shows you the range of values for the whole dataset, the indicator/variable name and the data level.Finally, you can view 2 thematic datasets at a time on HC.org, so you could click another Target and add a second characteristic like Percent of Families in Poverty or Median Household Income.
- You can change the color scheme and the data ranges among other things.
- Quantile: Each class contains an equal number of features. Equal Interval: Divides the range of values into equal-sized sub-ranges.Percent of African-Americans in California = 5.8%…Use Quantile to see where the highest concentrations of small populations areIn areas with higher Percent of African-Americans like south Los Angeles,…Use Equal Interval to see variation in areas with highly concentrated populations
- This is where I’ll hand it over. Please describe the project in your own words (as opposed to reading off slide), and just let me know if you need me to change any of the text.
- Maybe you can mention how you looked for data on HC.org first, but didn’t see the exact indicator you needed, so you went to use the FactFinder site. Please mention any tutorials you’ve found helpful for FactFinder, or any advice you would give (e.g. selecting your Geo first)
- Maybe you can just briefly note the stumbling block you encountered when prepping the spreadsheet for upload to HC.org – how you called me when the upload didn’t work, and I suggested adding “0” to the CT geo column. This is a good place to let them know they can contact Healthy City for help, and that I will go over some additional Help Resources later on.
- Just to show everyone what the spreadsheet looks like prepped and ready to go.
- Back on HealthyCity.org, make sure you’re logged into your account and have selected “Upload a Dataset” under datasets to get started.You can mention that we’re showing the steps here, but don’t expect everyone to remember – so we’ll provide these slides and other help resources
- Fill out the form, and attach the spreadsheet…
- Make sure the drop downs and check boxes are appropriately selected.
- You have to tell the website which columns of your spreadsheet you’d like to map. Then click Submit.
- Use the i-tool to get the data for whichever CT you click on
