This week we worked with QGIS, a software that is very similar to ArcGIS but free to the public. Since I'm so used to working with Arcmap and ArcPro this was a little tough working out some of the kinks as far as formatting and analysis goes. I was tasked with creating a map that depicted the food deserts and food oasis of southern Escambia County. With the use of some SQL expression I was able to simply create two different shapefiles from my census tract data to accomplish this task. This week we were also supposed to start our research for our own city food desert analysis. I chose Atlanta, Georgia. I thought that it would be a neat experience seeing a large metro area such as Atlanta and how all the different socioeconomic factors play a role in supermarket distribution.
