Notice to Readers: Maps of National, State, and County Data Now
Available on ÐÇ¿ÕÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø WONDER
Two ÐÇ¿ÕÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø online data-access systems, WONDER (Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research) and
GATHER (Geographic Analysis Tool for Health and Environmental Research), have collaborated to produce maps for WONDER data-query applications. WONDER users can now create maps for each data element measured, select quantiles or set custom
break-points for data groups, choose whether to display highways and rivers, add labels, and choose a color scheme. Maps are available for the following WONDER data requests:
census population estimates ()
bridged-race population estimates ()
natality (births) ()
Mapping capability will eventually be available for other data-query applications with location data elements.
