Mapping Racial Segregation [Interactive Map]

This interactive map is very useful for visualizing what racial/ethnic segregation looks like in the US. There is a large amount of data here, all taken from the Census, and so the map can be slow to load.  In addition, sparsely populated rural areas can be hard to find.

-Once you open up the map, I recommend clicking on "Add Map Labels" to help you navigate your way around.

Here is an example from the map -looking at Minneapolis-St Paul.


FYI - If you are teaching in a large city and just looking for a map of that city  it might help you to use these screen shots that Wired Magazine took.  [This is where I originally saw the link]
