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.
“Region is Reshaped as Minorities Go to Suburbs”
“Immigrants Make Paths to Suburbia, Not Cities”
“Samples of Highs and Lows from Around the Country”
“What if the world were rearranged so that the inhabitants of the country with the largest population would move to the country with the largest area? And the second-largest population would migrate to the second-largest country, and so on?”
An interesting new map featured on the Strange Maps blog addresses this question.
