Data Extrapolation in Qomon
Depending on your subscription, you have access to geolocalized socio-economic and electoral data displayed on your map.
2 scales are available:
Census: For socio-economic data (information on the size, location, and characteristics of population)
Electoral: For election data
⚠️Data will also differ depending on your geographical location!!
📈 Why do we extrapolate certain data?
As it stands, it's not possible to obtain election results or socio-economic data at the polling station level with absolute precision, so to give you a good idea of the data in your area we extrapolate.
You can always change scale, and view data at the most appropriate scale.
💡How is the data extrapolated?
First, to get to the data extrapolation, go to Maps, and then click the “Pick a Data Category” tab which will allow you to choose the data you wish.
In this example, I’ve chosen to look at Census data. You can select a specific territory on the map to see a more detailed view of the area you want data on.
The scale in the bottom left of your screen will also show you where the data is most dense: lighter colors being low, dark being high.
Your data tab on the right has a selection of different categories pertaining to population data in your desired location that you can sort through.
Now let’s take a look at the Electoral data. In this example we’re looking at Suffolk, Massachusetts, to see the number of votes per candidate:
You again have the option to look through the different data categories Qomon has available, to better understand your geographic location and further your project.
