Honorable mention for statistics. Also, taking an econ class dropped my opinion of econ into the toilet. Lol
I was surprised to see so many Gen X locations, but then I remembered they are between two massive generations. If there is a decent size Boomer population in the tract, it will probably pull the median into Gen X territory.

I made a Median Generations map of the US for a contest, but I missed the deadline. π
The generations are based on the median age of census tracts in 2023. The urban areas are tract centroids, and the rural areas were dasymetrically binned to a 10km grid.

Martha Muir and Ilya Gridneff's report

For context, before 1980, #Nashville temperatures hit 0Β°F an average of once per winter. Because of #GlobalWarming, what used to be an annual event has only happened 4 times in the last 30 years.
Similarly, before 1980 we got 12" of snow in an average winter. Since 2000, it's around 4".
Very cool! Did you make the web map with AGOL or FOSS?

I created a quick workflow on how to find the highest value from multiple attribute columns in #QGIS. This is helpful if you have temporal or similar data in a single feature class. In my example, I had over 100 columns to compare.

A screenshot of QGIS showing the labeling of Great Smoky Mountain National Park feature. The label shows the name of the park, the field name and value of the largest forest type.
Screenshot of QGIS showing the expression to find the highest value from a range of fields. The code reads as: concat( "PARKNAME", '/',map_akeys(attributes())[array_find(map_avals(attributes()), array_max(array_slice(map_avals(attributes()), 10, 148)))], '/' , array_max(array_slice(map_avals(attributes()), 10, 148)))
This simple label took me over day to make. I am still learning expression builder in #QGIS. I needed the highest value for each feature from over one hundred attribute columns AND the name of the field name. The worst part is I don't know if I will use this info. lol

Labeling maps is a peaceful practice, and often is half the job of a cartographer. I'm sure seas will be drained and skies will be blackened so that AI can do it in our stead in a year or two, but for now, I always enjoy looking at a "map minus map" version of completed work.

A work-in-progress map of the Forests in the lower US. I haven't decided if I am going to display and label the National Parks and/or Forests yet. Things get pretty busy on the West Coast.
The legend is going to be a nightmare and I am not looking forward to it. π
