WI lab 2

The goal of this map was to create a visually pleasing map of Wisconsin by using a new set of skills we learned which was downloading data from an outside source, reading and understanding its metadata, and placing it into a Cloropleth map. I found the result to be quite interesting in the fact that there was no surprise for me that the total population was higher in the counties with the largest families. However the total number of family households did not seem to fit a pattern. The one thing that surprised me was that Dane county where Madison is did not have a high family household ratio. The only explanation I could think of is that it is a large college town where maybe single young students make up the major of there population.
