AP Human Geo (APHuG) LoFi Unit 1: Geographic Data

Data shows patterns people create

Numbers and records that geographers translate

Quantitative counts the measurable side

Population totals or miles we ride

Qualitative stories explain what we see

Beliefs and behaviors shaping society

Both kinds combine to explain the land

Helping researchers understand

Geographic data builds the frame

Numbers and stories mapping the same

Evidence gathered across the terrain

Turning observations into spatial gain

Primary data gathered firsthand

Fieldwork surveys across the land

Secondary sources already compiled

Government census reports and statistics derived

Accuracy matters reliability too

Because strong data guides the view

Geographers study patterns that show

How human systems grow and flow
