I do not work for JCP nor own stock in JCP. June 4, 2020 I saw various news feeds reporting JCP was planning to close stores in 2020.
From the company blog
JCPenney made the difficult decision to close 154 stores.
What does that look like from a mapping standpoint ?
JCP store closings announced June 4, 2020
Attached program shows how the data for the map was retrieved from public information, matched and classified
Proc HTTP, INPUT @, PRXCHANGE
Map drawn with snippet
proc sgmap plotdata=plotdata;
openstreetmap;
bubble x=x y=y size=bubble_size / group=status;
run;
The store data is attached for later use when web content may no longer be present, accessible or contextually accurate (this post wise).
One suggestion:
Looks nice!
One thought: Since the bubble_size has no contribution from the original data, perhaps use a SCATTER plot instead, with a symbol of CIRCLEFILLED. You can use the SIZE option in MARKERATTRS to adjust the size like you want.
proc sgmap plotdata=plotdata;
openstreetmap;
scatter x=x y=y / group=status markerattrs=(symbol=circlefilled);
run;
