The Racial Dot Map - One Dot Per Person for the Entire United States

August 14, 2013 in 5tilt

Dustin Cable, a demographer at the University of Virginia's Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service draws a dot for each person in the United States based on the 2010 census and colors by ethnicity. The project is called the Racial Dot Map.

"This map is an American snapshot; it provides an accessible visualization of geographic distribution, population density, and racial diversity of the American people in every neighborhood in the entire country. The map displays 308,745,538 dots, one for each person residing in the United States at the location they were counted during the 2010 Census. Each dot is color-coded by the individual's race and ethnicity. The map is presented in both black and white and full color versions. In the color version, each dot is color-coded by race."
