Shows not just ethnic distribution but overall population density as well — cool!

Lots of smurfs out there.

The map, created by Dustin Cable at University of Virginia’s Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service, is stunningly comprehensive. Drawing on data from the 2010 U.S. Census, it shows one dot per person, color-coded by race. That’s 308,745,538 dots in all–around 7 GB of visual data. It isn’t the first map to show the country’s ethnic distribution, nor is it the first to show every single citizen, but it is the first to do both, making it the most comprehensive map of race in America ever created.

Fascinating - absolutely fascinating! I’m going to send a drilled-down screen capture of my area to blackpeoplemeet.com and ask them to take me off their mailing list because there AREN’T any black people around here!

I see that I tend to vacation in areas with concentrations of Smurfs. But I guess when go fly-fishing on vacation that is to be expected.

Thanks for posting. I love maps and this is a good one.

Even without the demographics I am struck by population density.

No wonder the Eastern seaboard is so liberal and messed up.

Darn it. They missed me.

Er ... "dots"?

This map is prejudiced against South Asians.

Almost every city I look at in CT looks like it’s filled with pus or gangrene.
