7 NORTH JERSEY SENIOR SERVICES STUDY DEMOGRAPHIC AND HOUSING MAPS As part of a senior services study in Northern New Jersey, I mapped population change among people 65 and older in the study area. This helped the research team identify migration, aging and housing trends in New Jersey s four northeastern counties.

To get better sense of where senior homeowners are struggling, I mapped housing costs, effective tax burdens and federally subsidized affordable housing for the region. APPLICATIONS ARCGIS Page 05
