Based on the 2010 Census, a researcher at the University of Virginia’s Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service produced a map that displays the population of the United States down to every single person, along racial and ethnic lines.
There are 308,745,538 dots, each smaller than a single pixel. Caucasians are blue, blacks are green, Hispanics orange, Asians red, and other racial groups are marked as brown.
And here, a bit of information that will come as a shock to many: Six of the 20 most segregated cities in the U.S. are located in the Amtrak corridor that connects the northeastern Atlantic region. The most segregated cities in that corridor--and the third and fourth most segregated in the whole country--are New York and Newark.
