Try on your own: Change the basemap to Light Gray Canvas

Step 3

Let’s add in data, a few different ways:

1. ArcGIS Online
   • ACS Poverty Status Variables
2. Hosting through Content
   • Chicago Community Boundaries + Grocery Stores (2013) from the Chicago Open Data Portal
     
   • Check out our GIS Research Guide for data resources
     

Try on your own: Bring in another data layer from ArcGIS Online and check out the attribute table. Save your map!

Step 4

Now let’s jump into using some spatial tools!

1. Tool: Aggregate Points
   
2. Tool: Enrich Neighborhoods
   * Make a bivariate map
   

Try on your own: Enrich your map with another variable, then try making another bivariate map.
