The map above shows an example of how we can combine maps and data using gis. the background is a satellite map of a city. the red stars show grocery stores that opened in 2007, and the blue circles show stores that opened in 2008. based on the information on the map above, what conclusion can you infer about the population of this area? a. the population is experience overall economic decline. b. the population of the area is aging. c. the population prefers to shop on one side of town and live on another. d. the population of the area has likely increased.

To answer the question, let us observe the following from the map.

Red stars indicate grocery stores that opened in 2007.

Blue circles indicate stores that opened in 2008.

Red stars = 8 grocery store in 2007

Blue circles = 24 stores in 2008

Therefore, from the above observation, the number of stores in the city had increased from 8 to 32, between 2007 to 2008.
