Our search results will come in multiple forms: tables, maps, and pages. Because we are interested in identifying geographic areas in our county where children and youth are at risk, we will focus on maps. As Figure 3 shows, the top-left bar of our search results gives us an option to filter result types. We will click “maps” and explore tables in a later section.
