Normalizing census data using ArcMap
Dailey G. 2006. Normalizing census data using ArcMap. ArcUser. (January-March)
A common mistake is to compare areas based on a count statistic such as the number of people who fall into a particular category. This is not a very meaningful analysis because areas are usually arbitrary in size and larger areas typically will have more people. Normalizing data factors out the size of areas by transforming counts (measures of magniture into ratios (measures of intensity).
