3D Mapping with ArcGIS Arcscene

This is a 3D visualization of median household income in Tacoma (Pierce County, WA). I downloaded median household income tabular data by Census Block Group for Pierce County from Census.gov (American FactFinder and TIGER Line).

 

Map projected in NAD 1983 HARN StatePlane Washington South FIPS 4602 (US Feet)

Data Sources: Census.gov for tabular data (MHI) and enumeration units (block group), and Washington State Geospatial Data Archive for Tacoma spatial data (e.g. Tacoma streets).

This is a 3D visual of topography for Ruston and Ruston Way (Tacoma) along Commencement Bay. I used ArcScene to visualize the Tacoma Hillshade with a six foot resolution surface elevation.

 

Goals accomplished:

 

Become familiar with ArcScene, 3D Analyst, and 3D modelling (of elevation and demographic data).
