Use a Flow Map to Explain Your Data

Today will we talk about how to use a flow map to show the movement of goods over a geographical area. Don't worry. It can all be done with a three-part description and analysis. Here is an example for a fictional pizza delivery shop. “Serious Slices once again saw exponential growth last year with an increased number of deliveries throughout the city. Yet, increased operational expenses resulted in lower profits than expected. Last year’s fuel cost in particular warrants further scrutiny.Serious Slices continues to enjoy strong demand in the neighborhoods surrounding the pizzeria with 2,224 deliveries to Mount Royal, 1,800 to Kingston, 2,665 to Oak Hills, and 2,000 to Sunnyside. Some distance away, Hull had 3,400 deliveries followed by Eaglewood (1,230) and Mayberry (950). The strong demand for Serious Slices in the northwest part of the city is most likely the reason behind last year’s increased fuel cost. On average, the distance between these neighborhoods and the Serious Slices pizzeria is 10 kilometers roundtrip. Considering that the university is located in Hull, Serious Slices has the potential of seeing continued growth in this part of the city. In the future, Serious Slices might even consider opening a new location in Hull to better serve this market.” If you love the background music as much as I do, check it out with these links below! –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Joy by Beau Walker https://soundcloud.com/beauwalkermusic Creative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/3mbVnEt Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/wPg_C9wE_Tg ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
