Module 5: Assessment
Section 2: Data Analysis
Data Analysis Exercise

Given Scenario 4: Merryville is a small town built in the 1960s with a population of approximately 20,000 in the north west of a large rural and affluent county. In contrast to the rest of the county, Merryville is relatively poor with some of its many housing projects sited in districts with some of the worst indicators of deprivation in the region. An industrial parcel in the middle of Merryville has been selected for the site of a new incinerator that will process 68% of the county’s waste. The new incinerator would permit the closing of 8 landfill sites located elsewhere in the county. The industrial parcel is close to three housing projects and an elementary school.
