Abstract
 Geographic Information Design for Envisioning and Choosing Neighborhoods Track: Census and Geodemographics Author(s): Earl Bossard A key component of a solution to the problem of understanding and ultimately choosing neighborhoods can be effective organization of the character and design layouts of digital geodemographic information. GIS is playing an increasing role in helping places to be understood, or envisioned, with maps of census and other geodemographic data being routinely used for making choices such as choosing a neighborhood in which to reside, work, shop, or recreate. This paper will present organized collections of small multiple GIS maps, charts, photos, and tables, called schemas, to facilitate choosing an "Urban Hip" neighborhood using census and other geodemographic data, such as Esri BIS' Tapestry data, placed in context across space, scale, time, and conditions. This paper will demonstrate how GIS can be part of a framework for using vision to think, enabling more enlightened choices to be made using geodemographic maps and data.
