Community Attributes[WLOs: 1, 2, 3] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3]

Prior to beginning work on this assignment,

This presentation will highlight the importance of community descriptions in identifying the critical qualitative information that supports the existing quantitative data. Finally, to help you organize your paper, use the Community Attributes Assignment Template Download Community Attributes Assignment Template. You must use the examples on this template for your quantitative data.

This assignment is divided into two parts. In Part 1, you will create a PDF using the data from SparkMap. In Part 2, you will write a paper based on your findings. You will utilize the data found from your Week 1 discussion and expand on it to create a more comprehensive understanding of your community. As noted in the discussion, your community must comprise at least one hospital/clinic, food provider (supermarket, grocery store, etc.), recreation park, and K–12 school district. If your community does not contain those items, then you need to expand out to include the nearest community where you seek those services or the whole county.

Part 1

In your paper,

• Create a SparkMap for your Community. Using SparkMap, create a PDF of your chosen community using 15% for “Population Below Poverty Level,” and 15% for “Population Less than High School.”
