Here's stats for York West, a district of Toronto that includes Jane-Finch [[probably the worst neighbourhood) and other areas that aren't much better.

Legend is the same as for the NYtimes maps...

I looked into this a little while back so I have the data.





Housing Units in Detroit

Yep, Iowa and Southern Illinois are a lot more densely populated than the Great Plains of the Dakotas, Nebraska and eastern Colorado. And Michigan, Ohio and Indiana are also more densely populated...

Ponds Apts was already over 75% black in 2000 from the looks of it though [[and about 90% now in 2010).

1980: 52,258
1990: 51,364
2000:...

Comparing the above to previous decades, these kinds of fast changes in racial make-up are not as prevalent today.

90s...

After that I mostly focused on changes in racial composition, places where the minority population share increased by 20 percentage points between 2000 and 2010. It's colour coded by the minority...

So this is my first post here.

I've always been interested in demographics, development patterns and such, and started a blog to post stats I've gathered into maps/tables/graphs. I'm from the...
