  3. Andrew Medeiros right?

    As I look at this, I see some big trends that I didn't expect:
    -- The population density goes way WAY down pretty much westward of OKC. I am really surprised that this is a national trend, existing throughout the country. Maybe this has to do with the Wild West, but I wager it has more to do with that land being uninhabitable desert.
    -- There's a lot of purple from Boston to DC, which is blue plus red. That's the Asian influence, which only surprises me with its location.
    -- There's a whole bunch of green down south. I didn't think our African American population was so concentrated in the south.

  4. I wish this had Canada too, though I could make some guesses there.

  5. Also: Basically only white people live outside the cities.

  6. Cameron Mount I did a little digging. The census data goes down to "census defined place", which is much larger than the block. They did some cool-ass modelling on top of that based on zoning and crap, to figure out where people probably live. At the less-than-CDP level, it is only probabilistic.
