Being an old GISer, I still love a good use of the technology. This is a great map. I lost about an hour looking at this thing this morning. Not great for lower pop areas because of the method he used to agglomerate the census data, but still a very interesting map.
As a current GIS'r. That is a cool map.
I live in idiotville.
Seems we all do. There seemed to be a lot of high school dropouts on that map.Quote:

Seattle is blue-green
Washington St. Penitentiary is red-orange-yellow. I'm assuming that one blue dot is the warden.
According to this map, there is a high density of homeless people with graduate degrees living in the undeveloped greenbelt near me.Quote:

Very cool map. Looking at the area around Manhattan with just Graduate degrees and less than high school turned on shows some very interesting divides.
Pretty cool.
Amazing that college graduates are still a strong minority.
Each dot represents 50 people over 25 years old in a census tract. The dots were randomly placed in the boundary of the tract, so there's some oddly placed dots if you zoom in- especially in low pop areas.
I thought Manhattan was interesting too. There's a pretty definite line 96th St. where Harlem begins.
The prisons are interesting. Not sure if they count just prisoners, but I see some blue dots at some of our local prisons too. Could be just prisoners getting degrees?
I think what is most striking is how many high school dropouts there are. Damn.
Something about this map doesn't make sense.
According to 2010 US census, my little slice of Paradise (Sisters OR) had 1500 people age 18 and older living within the city limits. There's a grand total of three dots on the map. Guaranteed that way fewer than 1350 people here are between the age of 18-25.
What am I missing?
I've read that Los Alamos NM has the most PhDs per capita in the U.S. Generated chart shows 42% grad degrees.
Conspiracy? Connect the dots...Quote:

Since the dots are randomly placed within Census Tracts, this map needs is to be overlaid onto a Census Tract map.
Also note that the dots represent different amounts at different zoom levels.
I've heard similar about Tri-Cities (Hanford)Quote:

Large number of blue dots around Berkeley and Boston. That's all those people taking 15 years to get their PhD's.
I'm somewhat surprised to see my micro neighborhood in Seattle is all green and blue.
96th Street is known as the DMZQuote:

"The students who received the "awards" were enrolled in AVID, an advanced learning and college prep program."
Damn snowflakes get awards for everything these days....Quote:
