We've been on the road a lot this spring! Met fascinating people at conferences and grabbed an award along the way. Before the frenzy of summer travel starts, we've wrapped up a few really interesting projects. Some are highlighted below. If you don't have time to read, perhaps we'll see you at the ESRI User Conference in June. Until then, welcome to another edition of the Azavea Journal!

Puzzle!

Question 1: In addition to our Philadelphia location, Azavea has offices in Seattle, Washington and Burlington, Vermont. Visit the OJJDP SMART application to learn about indicators of juvenile delinquency in those states. Under the ‘Education’ category map the % of 5 to 17 year olds not enrolled in school, 2000 by county in each of these two states. Find the top ranked county in each state and each of their values. (Note: top ranked in this case is the county with the highest percentage not in school.)

A.Which county had the higher value?
B. What was that value?

Question 2: The PhillyHistory.org website contains a link to the Historic Streets Index (under ‘Links’), which tracks street name changes over time. Visit the Historic Streets Index and type the name of the county you answered for question 1/A. The index will tell you that this street name changed into two different street names. What did it change to?

C. New Street Name #1
D. New Street Name #2

Question 3: Of the two streets identified in Question 2, only one still exists, as noted in the Historic Streets Index. Visit the Connect Services website, and search for hospitals within 1 mile of the intersection of that street + the number you found in Question 1/B.

E. How many hospitals are within 1 mile?
F. Of the hospitals located within 1 mile of that address, what is the name of the hospital located furthest to the north?
