SKILLS Attribute Subset Selections for Clips: Omaha was derived by querying places (NB Places, "Name"= Omaha) Douglas County was derived by quering Counties Shapefile (Counties, "Name" = "Douglas" AND "SFID" = "055") Spatial Analyst: Variables were reclassified (high/low) based on output spatial analysis (ie- Median Income reverse ranked for Low Income Locations but not TOD Viability) TOD Viability: Transit Center Ridership + Pct Trans + Med Inc + Density + Bike + Walk Low Income Locations: Transit Center Ridership + Pct Trans + Pct Below Poverty + Median Income + Density + Avg Ed
