Chattanooga Stand



The Stand results are up and ready for you to explore. There is a nice intro video to demonstrate the use of the query interface as well. I think the best starting point is at the bottom of the page where you can download the Ochs Center's summary and report of Stand. It presents the Stand results alongside the Center's own SOCCR report, giving more breadth and depth to both, in my opinion. Also available are the raw results in both csv and mysql formats. If you intend to spend some time looking at the results via the web interface, it would be a good idea to at least spend a few minutes with the csv file to familiarize yourself with the structure of the data.

Above is a map showing results by zip code in the Chattanooga MSA. There are dots all over the US as well, but that image doesn't translate well....and honestly this map, in its static form doesn't either. The bar chart below does a better job. It is filtered to show only zip codes with 300 or more responses. I chose 300 as the cut off in order to make the image manageable and readable. While I didn't double check it, I am pretty sure most of the ones in the chart are in the MSA as well.




Stay tuned for more Stand data and info as the exploration continues. There are certainly a lot of great individual responses. I will use the ChattaData Twitter feed for one-off observations and post for more substantial ones. Feel free to share any thoughts and/or observations here as well. Go explore!!
