Things Accomplished

-I finished gathering population data from 1980 to 2010 with population density at 2010 and put it into a CSV file.-I plotted all the data points and incremented 1 year per 100 refreshes.-I got the population density data as a rainbow color map on my data points.

Data Analysis-Least populated city is Coronado near San Diego at 18912 people in 2010 census.-Most populated city is Los Angeles at 3792621 people in 2010 census.-Most dense city is Maywood at 21929.09 people per square mile.-Lease dense city is Barstow at 57.77 people per square mile.

Distribution of 245 cities in California

Spread of Cities from North to South

Current Difficulties -Cities are points on the map and don’t know how to turn it into a surface yet.-A pop-up menu to show a city with its population, population density, and coordinates when clicked.-While some areas are extremely crowded with cities, other areas don’t even have an existed city.
