Week 9: reporting on the best spot for a bookstore

The mechanics of this week were fairly straightforward although the numbers - on which we would hypothetically be deciding to site a bookshop - were rather less so; one could make legitimate arguments for more than one possible location. I recalculated figures for each site using the census blocks that had their centroid within the 1-mile radius around each location. This is something that I really appreciate about GIS, the ability to summon the location-based figures so rapidly. Here's the powerpoint link for the final report:
