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 item ethnic grouping makes upwardly to a greater extent than than 75% of the population.
The paper used iv static maps to illustrate the story. The iv maps exhibit New York neighborhoods where Whites, Blacks, Hispanic or Asian citizens brand upwardly 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 expect at racial multifariousness 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 endure of the same ethnicity.
The lighter colors on the map exhibit tracts alongside the highest probability that 2 people would endure of the same ethnicity as well as the darker colors betoken that in that place is less of a probability. Therefore the darker colored areas on the map exhibit where in that place is the some ethnic diversity.
