The worst poverty is on Indian Reservations. The US sure did treat them well.

Yep. Your tax dollars at work. Way to many people just sit around and live like parasites on the government (federal and tribal). A couple friends of mine grew up on reservations and the apathy of the population is disgusting.

Dr. Cool, these maps zoom down to census tract level and you can see the poverty in each neighborhood. But you have to actually visit the website to find that out!

I just wanted to reply to Mark Borga’s comment that the map is not projected. In fact it is projected and the projection is an Equal Area projection, so it does NOT distort the data.

In addition to Dr. Cool’s criticisms, I want to point out that this map needs to be shown in an equal-area projection. The current projection or lack thereof distorts the areal size of what is being used to classify the data (counties), and thus misrepresents what it is trying to show.
