Featured Maptitude Maps:
Is Your State Old Or Young? (USA)

This map, made with Maptitude 2014, showcases median age by US state. This statistic is the age separating the older half of the population from the younger half. States with a higher median age than the national average are shown in green and states with a lower median age are shown in pink.

Maptitude Featured Map of Median Age by State

"The Maptitude 2014 demographics provide significant added value not available from other sources, revealing new information such as how many adolescents are likely to use a health program."

Leslie Hendrickson, Owner, Hendrickson Development

Being able to identify areas by generation (people sharing an age range) is a powerful marketing tool that provides you with a focused and efficient way of reaching your ideal target audience. In the Maptitude USA Country Package these data are available down to the Census Tract and ZIP Code level.     

Analyzing age is the most proven demographic marketing method that you can use to get your product into the hands of those who will want it. Along with gender, income and education, using age helps identify life stage and even lifestyle grouping.

Maps help you clearly visualize age distributions and can be used to analyze target populations and geographies, enabling a deeper understanding of where people live and how they can be contacted.

Maptitude 2014 allows you to map variation in age and related statistics such as median or mean income, income bracket, disposable income by gender, education, and home value. These figures can also be compared to population density, age distribution, family size, race, and more.

The Maptitude 2014 USA Country Package includes extensive demographics including projections for 2015 and 2020 (more...). Upgrade to Maptitude 2014 now to access the latest income information.

Beta Menu Translation Tool: Spanish

Maptitude includes the Geographic Information System Developer's Kit (GISDK™). Over 700 functions can be called from Caliper Script, a complete programming language for designing menus and dialog boxes (including toolbars and toolboxes) and for writing macros. You can develop add-ins that extend the standard interface to provide new capabilities or that automate repeated operations.

There are several such free mapping tools, here. You can download any of the add-ins to extend the capabilities of Maptitude. This month we have released a new add-in that translates the Maptitude menu items (not dialog boxes, tools-tips, or messages) into Spanish. This beta translation tool is available here.

Maptitude 2014 runs as a 32-bit or 64-bit application on 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 8, 8.1, 7, Vista or XP. One of the many advantages of a 64-bit Maptitude includes the ability to save to much higher resolution images. For maps you can choose File-Save As and for Bitmap, JPEG, PNG, GIF, and TIFF files you can click Options. This allows you to change the resolution (dots per map window inch). The maximum resolution is set as 300 DPI, but you can manually override this by typing in your preferred level of detail.

Tech Tip:Tech Tip
Create Custom Fields Such As Millennials Using Sum Fields

Maptitude provides many age-based demographics including total population, current and future age group numbers, and age brackets broken down by education, gender, birthrate, health insurance coverage, poverty status, and more.

These data are critical to those organizations that target their services to particular cohorts, or to those businesses that supply products aimed at a particular segment of the population. For example, if targeting products towards the Latin American population in the USA, then language spoken by age would be an invaluable differentiator and one that Maptitude supplies.

The age-based data provided with Maptitude are often segmented into ranges (e.g. under 18, or 35-39). Formula fields allow you to combine these populations into the target groups that you need to reach.     

Creating a quick Sum Fields formula in MaptitudeThe following steps illustrate how to identify and map Millennials, defined here as those born between 1980 and 2004:

  1. Choose File-New and use Create-a-Map Wizard to create a general purpose map for your area of interest.

  2. If the ZIP Code layer is not visible, use the Display Manager to make it visible and make it the working layer.

  3. Choose Map-Color Theme or click Color Theme MapWizard Button.

  4. Choose Formula from the bottom of the Field drop-down list.

  5. Click Sum Fields. In the Filter box type age. Highlight the four fields covering the ages from 10 to 34 years old, and click Add>>.

  6. Click OK to close the Choose Formula Fields dialog box and click OK again in the Sum Fields dialog box.

  7. In the Formula Fields drop-down, type Millennials.

  8. Click OK to close the Formula dialog box and click OK again in the Color Theme dialog box. Maptitude creates a theme of the Millennial population by ZIP Code.

To insert your results into a presentation you can choose File-Save As to export your map for use outside of Maptitude.
