I used the total area of the Vancouvermask and the total area of VancouverLandUseInDanger (by summing up all the area values in the previous table) to obtain the area of Vancouver affected by the potential tsunami:

131,033,339.95 (13103 ha) / 20,302,078.29 (2030 ha) = 6.45%

Accomplishment Statements:

By practicing how to calculate statistics using ArcMap to display quantitative data, I am now able to perform this function across all labs and assignments confidently.

By processing my data into usable summary tables for healthcare and education layers, I am able to incorporate a new dimension of quantitative analysis into my lab 3 and all following labs and assignments.

Manipulating a variety of vector and raster layers allowed me to create a sophisticated map of potential danger zones in Vancouver with detailed education and healthcare facilities, while also challenging my cartographic skills.
