Trulia Heat Map Crime. I'm interested in making a heat map based on a series of latitude longitude points. I worked with Zain Memon and Sha Hwang on this project.
Trulia has launched Crime Maps, a service that pulls statistics from local police departments around the country to create a heat map that shows which neighborhoods have the highest crime rates. Methodology: Our nationwide meta-analysis overcomes the issues inherent in any crime database, including non-reporting and reporting errors. Yet Trulia has survived — and thrived.
You just enter the address and choose the Crime tab and it will show you the heat map.
See the Trulia Crime Heat map here.
Crime rates are shown as black circles with the number of recent crimes written in each circle. Intersections or neighborhoods with reported crimes are clickable. Part of a series of videos I worked on with Trulia, highlighting the different features within their app.
