Geoprocessing

Make a map that shows the parts of census tracts in NYC that are within 1000 feet of a subway entrance using QGIS's geoprocessing functions:

  1. Clip the New York State census tracts to the borough boundaries.
  2. Buffer the subway entrances by 1000 feet, dissolved.
  3. Intersect the census tracts with the subway entrances.
  4. Finally, style the census tracts and intersected geometries as you like and choose an area in the city to focus on for your exported map.
