American cities racial segregation

[roguejuror]

We briefly touched this topic earlier this month in the Random Thoughts.

I've been to Toronto/Canada. The U.S. is just more segregated. The culture still exists though.

Yep. NYC is massively segregated though (like a lot of American cities).

Here are some maps of the segregation. Data from 2010 U.S. Census, it shows one dot per person.

White: blue dots; African American: green dots; Asian: red; Latino: orange; all others: brown



NYC

Atlanta

Detroit, the most segregated city in the country

Philadelphia

Sacramento, one of the most integrated city

The negro belt

The west sparsity

308,745,538 dots, 7 GB of visual data.

If they could superimpose an income layer over the these maps, we would have a better picture.

In the south hispanic area of Chicago there's a perfect square of blacks.
