Rats in NYC! (Happy Hallowe’en Part 2)


311 Service Requests From 2010-Present Where Complaint Type is Rodent, by Gretchen Culp

Keeping with our macabre Hallowe’en theme for the day (see Zombie Map! at http://geographer-notes.blogspot.com/2011/10/map-of-week-10-31-2011-zombie-map.html), here we have a wonderful example of a Hexbin method map, created by Gretchen Culp, cartographer extraordinaire and ace doctoral student.  She decided to try out the Hexbin method discussed in my blog posting from a couple of days ago (at http://geographer-notes.blogspot.com/2011/10/hexbins.html), and created this terrific (and terrifying!) map of rodent complaints in NYC.  I love the way the legend is done!  This is a really nice map.  Even if there is an alarming number of rodent complaints in many areas.  UGH!  RATS!
