The front page of yesterday’s New York Times featured maps and stories based on recently-released data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. As described by the team at Social Explorer, “the latest [American Community Survey] figures are the single largest data release in the Census Bureau’s history, providing a look for the first time since 2000 at a variety of characteristics, including income, race, immigration and commuting habits for people in areas as small as just a few square blocks.”
A number of searchable, interactive maps – developed jointly by the New York Times and Social Explorer – accompany the articles. Click here to explore the maps. Click below to read the articles.
