For this weeks portion of project 4 we were tasked with preparing two maps, using Qgis , showing areas in Escambia county that would be considered food areas or food deserts. Areas were subjected to a proximity selection based on nearness to grocery stores. The following deliverables were created in qgis: a map showing Escambia county and UWFs location and a map showing food deserts and food oasis with the project 4 study area as background. The following population statistics were calculated : food desert 60.14% of total pop, food oasis 39.85% of total pop.
