Mapping the Presidential Results: Harris County
Same disclaimers for the previous map. But a bit more interesting. From a pro-Clinton perspective, the near sweep of Pasadena-to-Baytown is impressive. Mind you, this was a 56-43 Obama county. And there's a few other pockets of success that are a bit of a surprise to me: Garden Oaks/North Heights, Jersey VIllage, Sharpstown, Bellaire, most of Meyerland. What really stands out for me here is that if you would have shown me this map beforehand, I'd have felt pretty confident of how to expand it to a win. Hindsight, once more, is 20-20.
Here, I wanted to zoom in on my area of interest ... the southwest part of the county. Yet get a better sense of Sharpstown & Meyerland here. The more heavily Asian, African-American, and suburban Anglo ... the more Obama. An impressive part of Obama's coalition here? Gulfton breaks a bit toward Obama.

Great maps! Can you point me to a link that explains how to do this? Did you create the overlay of precincts by yourself, or can it be downloaded somewhere?
Thanks
Great maps. I have been wanting something that would overlay by precinct but have been unwilling to pay what they want for a good map package that would do that.
Gary,
I think I paid about $30 for one program to translate shapefiles into Google Earth.
Wil,
If instructions had been written down for me to do this any easier, I'd have been all over this a long time ago. Let's just say it's a clunky process. An all-day workshop might be more in order and I'd much prefer to be a student rather than a teacher for that.
Just adding my applause. The maps are great. I wish I were a little more IT inclined to produce these for my folks. Still, it's pretty cool that google's letting us do things for free that used to be restricted to a few gis masterminds.
