This is a project I made in Geographical Information System course last semester.

The project is about the change of the age of first-time mothers in the United States, whether there is a correlation between education level and the change, whether there is a correlation between the home price and the change. After calculation, the mean age of first-time mothers in 2017, which is 28.65, 4 years older than 24.65 in 2000. So there are more women in their early 30s having babies than younger mothers for the first time.

There is a strong correlation between the value of the home, education attainment and the change of the age of women who have their first baby. But college is a stronger factor than value of home.


It's my first time to use ArcGIS. I met some troubles like how to use the same labels for different choropleth maps. Thank for professor Jorge, I successfully finished the project.
