Maps providing examples of individual variables mapped across Mecklenburg County, NC. All data was collected in 2009. Map A. Data from the Mecklenburg County Department of Social Services was used to identify areas in the community with high percentages of food stamp utilization. Map B. Data from the UNCC Center for Metropolitan Studies and Claritas shows Hispanic Settlement across the county. Map C. Hospital data from the 5 county Emergency Departments analyzed with the NYU algorithm to identify areas in the community that are utilizing the ED for primary care treatable or preventable conditions (note shaded areas in Map C show census tracts where over 60% of all ED visits are primary care treatable or preventable). Maps like these will be created for all variables and shared with the advisory board to initiate the MultiAttribute Primary Care Targeting Strategy (MAPCATS) Process. (note small locator map of North Carolina).
