The map depicts the spatial distribution of shooting incidents in New York City from 2019 to 2023. A three-dimensional elevation model is used to represent incident density, with areas of higher incident counts extruded vertically from the map surface. The color scale is a continuous gradient from dark purple to light yellow, with lighter colors representing higher frequencies of shootings. Neighborhoods with the highest concentration of incidents, such as in parts of Brooklyn and the Bronx, are visually elevated and shaded lightest. The map provides a sweeping, 360-degree view of the city’s spatial distribution of shooting incidents.
