Diversity in America: Ethnicity in the top 50 U.S. cities, mapped

  • Prelude: The United States of America

    Prelude: The United States of America

    This is a map of the entire United States. Hawaii is inset in the bottom left corner; Alaska is inset in the bottom right corner.

    Demographer Dustin Cable plotted on a map dots for each of the 308,745,538 people represented in the 2010 United States census. He also color-coded those dots based on self-reported ethnicity.

    In this map, you can identify geographic distribution, population denesity and ethnic diversity. The data used to plot the points on this map comes from the 2010 U.S. census, which is publicly available online. Cable, a researcher at the the University of Virginia's Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service, modeled the project on a previous Massachusetts Institute of Technology effort plotting population density with dots that represent individuals. Here, he takes it one further by color-coding the dots for self-reported ethnicity.

    Key: One dot equals one person. Blue dots represent a reported "White" ethnicity; green dots represent "Black"; red dots represent "Asian"; orange dots represent "Hispanic" or Latino; brown dots represent "Native American," "multi-racial" and "other."

    No. 48: Cleveland

    This is a map of Cleveland, Ohio, the forty-eighth most populous city in the United States, with an estimated 391,000 people.

    In this map, you can identify geographic distribution, population denesity and ethnic diversity. The data used to plot the points on this map comes from the 2010 U.S. census, which is publicly available online. Demographer Dustin Cable, a researcher at the the University of Virginia's Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service, modeled the project on a previous Massachusetts Institute of Technology effort plotting population density with dots that represent individuals. Here, he takes it one further by color-coding the dots for self-reported ethnicity.

    Key: One dot equals one person. Blue dots represent a reported "White" ethnicity; green dots represent "Black"; red dots represent "Asian"; orange dots represent "Hispanic" or Latino; brown dots represent "Native American," "multi-racial" and "other."

Prelude: The United States of America

This is a map of the entire United States. Hawaii is inset in the bottom left corner; Alaska is inset in the bottom right corner.
