San Jose Mercury News Maps Local Fitness Data

In case you missed it, we wanted to point out a map of physical fitness data from kidsdata.org that appeared in the San Jose Mercury News yesterday.

The map notes physical fitness scores in six Bay Area counties for 5th, 7th, and 9th graders. This is just one great example of the power of data — these numbers can be so compelling when viewed in map form. Thanks to the Mercury News for the mention, and for incorporating data into their reporting.
