I'd be curious to see how this changes for 2010 in North/Northeast LA (Hollywood, Silver Lake, Echo Park, Los Feliz, Atwater, Eagle Rock, Glassell Park, etc). Those were very different places in 2000.
Still, proud and surprised to see how integrated LA is compared to other major metro areas.
A friend linked me - this is fabulous - absolutely fascinating. I would love to see this updated with 2010 data. I also think it would be fascinating to pick one city and enter the data from every census and then watch how the data morphs over the years.
I intend to do a 2010 version as soon as the Census finishes tabulating the data. I think the full release is planned for next June. If you want to see change over time, Social Explorer has some of that.
Sad that it doesn't quite go down to Long Beach, which has been reportedly the most culturally diverse city in the US. Would have liked to see the breakdown there.
Well in the early days of Los Angeles, believe it or not, the powers that be made it illegal to sell beach front and other valuable property to blacks, hispanics and all the other minorities of the time. So if anyone happens to have a superiority complex about race and land ownership they can thank their ignorant racist leaders of the past for the disparity that exists now. Boy, I wished I lived back then, that map would look so different today!
It's funny. I don't remember my old stomping grounds feeling this integrated. But I remember deliberately seeking out neighborhoods that we racially diverse because I didn't want to reside in "all [name an ethnicity] neighborhood". West Van Nuys/Lake Balboa suited me. This is a cool project. Thanks!
The map of Los Angeles is amazing accurate. I've lived in Los Angeles all my life. I have watched as the black population of Los Angeles diminishes as we get pushed out by Mexican illegal immigrants. We are effectively surrounded and our numbers are dwindling. At first I thought we might be dispersing into the greater population, but this is not the case. It is fascinating to watch the change, and see a digital visual representation of what I only organically sense.
I'm fascinated by the collection of black people in what can only be Altadena/North Pasadena. I had no idea.
I also love seeing how obviously green it gets once one hits the San Gabriel Valley. I swear the second one gets to USC Medical everything is suddenly Asian-heavy.

I have broken the code: Whites are red necks, Blacks invented the blues, Hispanics sell oranges, Asians drink green tea, Grays are from Other planets.

The most striking thing about this map to this Angeleno is what a large swath of L.A. is made up of land with no people.

VPostrel, that swath is because of the mountains.

Hi --
Thanks so much for making these map images fair use. I used one of the images for a recent blog post:

Man, that's sad. Check out the west side and the way it reflects income.

I find this map fascinating. I took the liberty of merging this with the L.A. Times Mapping L.A. project. The result is here (with full attribution given). www.flickr.com/photos/54394504@N04/5034924097/sizes/l/in/...
