Week 8 Florida Housing Unit Density


This map reflects the ratio of housing units (as reported by the 2000 Census) to buildable area; reported by Florida Counties. I chose to exclude wetlands (such as the Everglades) from the calculation, as the enumeration units could not be placed there. The area involved, with the vast delta in density, made it difficult to have a 'point' size visible in sparsely 'housed' counties, and not have a 'clot' in highly developed areas. I checked the spreadsheet values with the dot incidence in low density Counties and they correlate.
