This is my fourth entry in my series on US Cities. Using 2000 Census data I have mapped % of people living in poverty in the San Francisco-Oakland metropolitan area. 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 San Francisco-Oakland.

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 NYC.

I have taken this set of bar charts from a Census report (pg 10) that uses data from the 2006 Current Population Survey. The lowest quintile is the bottom 20% poorest households with annual income less than $19,179 in 2005 while the highest quintile is the top 20% richest households with annual income more than $91,706 in 2005. Something extra that was in the report but not the bar charts: while 49.9% of all households were in the suburbs, only 39.0% of the poorest households were in the suburbs compared to 61.5% of the richest.

Here I have mapped the cost of owning a home as % of household income (taken from the 2000 Census). This is calculated by dividing the median cost of owning a home by the household income for a given area. If you would like to see a more detailed version go to Social Explorer and choose “Housing” from the second drop down then “Median Owner Costs: % of Income” and select the magnifying glass to zoom in on a specific county.
