Pet Adoptions by Population

Dublin Core

Title

Subject

GEOG-220 Final Project

Description

I wanted to find out if US states varied in the amount of cats and dogs adopted normalized by population, so I mapped data of dog and cat adoptions by state, per 1,000 people. I used a choropleth to display data. I also created bivariate maps comparing reported euthanasia and shelter intakes for both cats and dogs, to see if there was a spatial pattern in state with higher intakes and higher euthanasia rates.
