Mapping Trends in the LGBT Community





These maps were for a final project in my Cartography class at UCLA. The first (click on each to view larger images) shows incidence of discrimation due to sexual orientation (by county) with distribution of LGBT households. The second shows gentrification  from 1990 to 2000 in two metropolitan areas: Boston and the San Francisco Bay area, and points out neighborhoods in which LGBT household income has either risen or declined in that period. The third is a very basic Google Earth map of relatively well-known LGBT neighborhoods across the United States. You can make more complex maps in Google Earth, but with this assignment I was just getting my feet wet a little bit.
