Neat to see the greenish-orange streak extending to the northeast representing the Asian and Hispanic concentrations along Buford Hwy and up 85. I bet that’s even more clearly defined now.

That IS interesting. On that scale you can see lots of single dots that don’t show up hardly at all on the smaller scale maps. You see that many areas that look totally segregated on a small scale, actually show some minor, but evidently real (since each dot = 25 people) diversity, when examined more closely.

Look at Flickr under “Actual size” and you can see street grids. This is really interesting — I’d love to see an animation from 1940 to now

I see an angel in the snow silhouette.

Interesting that this graphic makes it appear that some of the most multi-integrated areas are in the suburbs–i.e. areas with all four race groups. Decatur shows some signs of black-white integration in 2000 but I’m sure it’s changed a lot. My guess is that Decatur shows more mixing of the blue and red dots compared to 2000 but less blue dots overall.

It would be much more interesting compared to the current dataset…
