Segregation Inward The Usa

Last calendar week the New York Times looked at residential segregation inwards New York City. In a story, entitled Segregation Issues Complicates de Blasio's Housing Push, the Times reports on the release of New York neighborhoods where a detail ethnic grouping makes upwards to a greater extent than than 75% of the population.

The paper used iv static maps to illustrate the story. The iv maps demo New York neighborhoods where Whites, Blacks, Hispanic or Asian citizens brand upwards 75% or to a greater extent than of the local population.

This CartoDB interactive map uses a like methodology to that used yesteryear the NYT to hold off at racial diverseness inwards every census tract inwards the USA. The Diversity Map uses information from the U.S. census to visualize the probability that 2 people picked at random inwards a tract volition survive of the same ethnicity.

The lighter colors on the map demo tracts amongst the highest probability that 2 people would survive of the same ethnicity too the darker colors signal that at that topographic point is less of a probability. Therefore the darker colored areas on the map demo where at that topographic point is the well-nigh ethnic diversity.
