Minneapolis-St. Paul Poverty Map

Another entry in my series on US Cities. Using 2000 Census data I have mapped % of people living in poverty in Minneapolis-St. Paul’s metropolitan area. The choice was inspired by a Visualizing Economics mention in the Star Tribune. If you would like to see the original interactive map go to Social Explorer and choose “Poverty” from the second drop down, then select the magnifying glass to zoom in on the city.

For reference I am including a Google map of the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. You can use this map just like the regular Google map and close the white message box.
