Abstract
A method includes displaying, on a GUI, a graphical representation of a geographical area sectioned into a plurality of subareas defined by boundaries; displaying, over the graphical representation, a resource need layer that visually depicts a first parameter associated with a need of a resource within a subarea, the depiction of the first parameter varying within the subarea; and displaying, over the graphical representation, a resource availability layer that visually depicts a second parameter indicating the availability of the resource within the subarea, the depiction of the second parameter varying within the subarea; wherein the layers are displayed simultaneously over the graphical representation to provide a visual comparison of the need of the resource and the availability of the resource within the subarea. In some embodiments, the need is based on data including one or more of demographic data from a census, other data from the census, and crime data.
