Flashback Friday.<\/em><\/p>\n

A set of maps from Eric Fischer<\/a>\u00a0illustrate racial\/ethnic populations in a number of U.S. cities, based on Census 2000 data. They’re great for showing levels of segregation, as well as comparing racial\/ethnic diversity and population density in different regions.<\/p>\n

On the maps, red = White\/Caucasian, blue = African American, green = Asian, orange = Hispanic, and gray = Other. Each dot represents 25 people. At Fischer’s website, if you hover over the images you can identify individual neighborhoods\/regions.<\/p>\n

Here’s NYC, which not surprisingly has the highest apparent population density of any of the cities mapped and a high level of diversity, though also clearly the racial\/ethnic groups are residentially segregated to a large degree:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Vegas still shows the distinctive residential segregation of African Americans that first emerged when they were forced to live in a segregated neighborhood called Westside, physically separated from other parts of town by Boulder Highway (see Las Vegas: The Social Production of an All-American City<\/em> for a history of its development), and the predominantly-White neighborhoods ringing the Vegas Valley:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fischer has up 102 different city maps, so there’s lots to play with and compare.<\/p>\n
