Map Fun

NYT has lots of great maps to play with based on census survey data. No big surprises on race/ethnicity in my urban hellhole. Mostly white people in center city and the parts of West Philly around Penn. Eastern South Philly is fairly white with significant Hispanic (largely Mexicans from Puebla) and Asian (mostly Vietnamese) populations. Most of the rest of the city is largely African-American, with a big Hispanic pocket in North Philly and another white pocket up in the "great" Northeast.
