Tyler Mummert - Final Project

For my final project, I decided that I wanted to look at my hometown of York County Pennsylvania and I wanted to compare it to the rest of the counties in PA. I used Spreadsheets for my data and I uploaded the spreadsheets into ArcGIS using the business analyst feature. Once all the data was in I compared York to the other 66 counties. I did this by adding all the counties' populations up and finding the average population in Pennsylvania. I did this so I could see if York was above, below, pr just average when it came to population size.
