Decide Unit of Comparison for Mapping the Poor over time #13

Closed adamajm closed 5 years ago

adamajm commented 8 years ago

Check census data (decennial vs ACS) to see what geographic level is feasible for our visualization of where "the poor" have lived in our area over time.

Visualization concept: highlight block groups (or tracts) that have either (a) high concentrations of people of residents (or households) with average median incomes <80% OR (b) have had growth (% change) in absolute number of of residents (or households) with average median incomes <80%

This US HUD source may be a better data source for income comparisons to average media income than US Census: https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/hads/hads.html
