Visualizing Census Data

The NY Times has some great visualizations of Census data. Above is the racial makeup of the area where I live. It’s segregated enough that I can tell what each of the colors represents without looking at the key, but it seems like San Francisco is more integrated than a lot of other cities I’ve seen on there.

This is really interesting. I looked up the place where I lived and what I found most striking is how great the segregation is on a block level. You could easily draw a line in DC where the majority white vs. majority black lives… which I guess I’ve always known… thanks for sharing.

Ah..I didn’t look there because I don’t know DC too well. Glad it’s interesting!
