GIS Maps (5/17/2006)

Prevention Center of Excellence, Center for Community Inclusion and Disability Studies

Maps provide a visual picture of binary relationships within geographic locations in Maine among the following variables:

  1. Population density
  2. Prevention infrastructure coverage

Prevention infrastructure data were obtained through telephone interview and web information collected by PCOE staff from October 13, 2005- October 25, 2005.

Maps 16-19 identify the coverage areas by township for each of the four core programs. Note that these maps are generated from geo-coded data, in this case on town-specific coverage as reported by each core program. Thus, individuals who are covered by these programs outside of the towns are not shown in the maps.

Map # 16 depicts the coverage area by township of the One Maine Partnerships. Population is based on township level of measurement.

Map # 17 depicts the coverage area by township of the Healthy Maine Partnership Programs. Population is based on township level of measurement.

Map # 18 depicts the coverage area by township of the Healthy Communities Program. Population is based on township level of measurement.

Map # 19 depicts the coverage area by township of the Communities for Children and Youth Program. Population is based on township level of measurement.
