I was astounded by Bill Rankin's map of Chicago's racial and ethnic divides and wanted to see what other cities looked like mapped the same way. To match his map, Red is White, Blue is Black, Green is Asian, Orange is Hispanic, Gray is Other, and each dot is 25 people. Data from Census 2000. Base map © OpenStreetMap, CC-BY-SA

Ah, so this is a 10-year-old picture. That explains why there are so few Hispanic dots in the Oxon Hill area of Prince George's County, which has changed greatly. Also, it said in The Post today that D.C. is now only 53 percent black. I'm looking forward to the new release! (Could you make the colors contrast more -- instead of red and orange, for example, how about red and green? And for easier orientation, could you at least clearly delineate the D.C. boundary?

College Park is not north west of DC; emm_aye was way off. It should at least be south of Greenbelt.
