The people from the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service published an awesome piece of big data mapping online. They took the race of each individual American and overlayed that on a map. The result is a stunning map of the States on which you can see clear city block race boundaries that, to me, indicates how badly races are mingling.

The Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service published an interesting data rich map online the other day. They took all the US 2010 census data about race and decided to plot that on a single map. Each American is represented as a dot (yes that are many dots!).

NYC racial data
US 2010 census data on race. Each dot is a person and its colour is defined by race.Blue = white, Green = black, Red = asian, Orange = hispanic and Brown = others

 

The Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service published an interesting data rich map online the other day. They took all the US 2010 census data about race and decided to plot that on a single map. Each American is represented as a dot (yes that are many dots!).

What becomes clear if you go through the map and zoom in/out is how dense populated some areas are and even more how strong the racial boundaries in cities are. You can clearly see on city block level what race is living where and how badly races mingle. See for example the attached screenshot of New York city. You can clearly see the hispanic, the black and the white neighbourhoods on Manhattan island.

Anyway, have a look yourself, be amazed and share screenshot of regions you find interesting:
