Autism GIS Prevalence and Rate Maps

This applet lets you zoom and pan into any area of the state of PA and exam the autism prevalence data in any of the 501 school districts. You can search on the name of any school district and zoom directly into that school district. You can toggle between the different years data (2001, 2002, 2003) to exam the trend of the autism prevalence. You can identify any autism hot spots and click on the spot and view the raw prevalence data.
