Maybe I should be surprised at the fact that this map doesn't surprise me.
Also, there are some very well defined neighborhoods... In what looks like the span of about 6 city blocks, you go from primarily white, to primarily black, to primarily hispanic. http://cl.ly/image/3Z0s29264423
Something confuses me here.. I'm looking at my small town, which I've lived in since august 2009.. I see plenty of black people quite frequently, but I'm not seeing any green dots on the town.. I'm not sure if it's just hard to see against the white background, or what.. I can see the blue, and a few reds here and there.. but that's it. http://imgur.com/v1REPHD
I think it's wrong though. We only have 150 or so houses around this lake but there are dots where there are no houses (like on the right side) and where my house is, there is a bunch of dots but only one person lives here.
I love maps of all kinds! I'm surprised the east is so much more densely populated - is this accurate?
@KDemo It is supposed to be accurate it was published in Wired. http://www.wired.com/2013/08/how-segregated-is-your-city-this-eye-opening-map-shows-you/
@zdunklee - Well, interesting information for those thinking racial disparity no longer exists. And the West is lacking green dots.
Also, I couldn't find my personal dot, but thanks for posting this.
@KDemo Breeding program initiate.
@zdunklee There is way more blue, then I expected.
@KDemo Half of the U.S. population lives in the Eastern time zone... which is why Meh launches an hour earlier. ;)
@JasonToon - And what's cool is, they're so grateful for that! ;)
oh man. they got my dot color wrong.
@carl669 - I couldn't find mine. Maybe I wasn't home when they made the map.

Also some very diverse neighborhoods:

That is an interesting use of map tech.
Can definitely tell where all the cemeteries and golf courses are around us - blank space in otherwise dot-infested turf.
What about other people like those from India?
@tightwad uhh...you mean Asians? red dot.
@carl669 It is amazing how people forget that India is part of Asia.
@carl669 I think referring to Indians by their dot is considered offensive..
@kadagan talk to the map makers. they're the ones picking red dots for Asians. damn the man! fight the power!
Yup. My area is spot on.
Note to self: clean monitor.
My hometown, St. Louis, is pretty starkly divided:
But my favorite neighborhood, Tower Grove South, gets it a bit better:

@kadagan It is all based on the 2010 census, so it's possible people didn't answer somehow, or that it has changed a lot in a 5 year time period.
Inaccurate. According to ms Atwood.
We seem to have a good mix in my neighborhood:
