Lab Project #2 - Downloading & Mapping GIS Data

The goal in this lab project was to show that I know how to obtain GIS and other data from a web source that can be analysed for use with a project. The methods I used in this lab included downloading census data from the US Census Bureau, downloading a shapefile of Census Boundaries, joining the data and shapefiles, mapping the data, downloading and mapping another variable of my choice, and building a layout showing both maps. The map on the left is showing the population in Wisconsin by County, while the map on the right is showing the population of only 20-24 year-olds in Wisconsin by County.
