Overview

• The user interface of Longitudinal Neighborhood Explorer (LNE) was designed to allow users to explore not only the temporal change of distributional patterns of each socioeconomic and demographic variable, but also the difference in the distributional patterns of the different variables at tract-level in different metropolitan areas or counties in the U.S. The user interface consists of two parts: the first part allows users to select the variables that they want to visualize, and the second part is for visualizations of outputs in response to the user’s selections to create various views of maps.
• Data were downloaded from the LTDB project site (Logan, Xu, and Stults 2014)
• Adaptive Choropleth Mapper (ACM) was embeded in LNE. ACM is a Choropleth Mapping Tool for Synchronous Exploration of Multiple Variables at Multiple Spatial Scales. ACM can be downloaded and used to visualize your own data. For more information, please visit the website of ACM in the following link: http://su-gis.org/ACM
