Census Data Show Immigrants Moving to the Suburbs

The New York Times had more maps on their cover today. This time they are mapping new residents to the U.S.  Oddly enough, immigrants (mapped from 2005 to 2009) seem to be moving to the suburbs rather then the cities or rural areas.

The map above shows the area where I live (Poughkeepsie NY). This is a dot density map by census tract showing a dot for each 50 persons by variable. As you move into the interactive map, the dot density numeration changes. Pretty nice.

Here is the link to the Time's interactive map. It's powered by Google Maps and uses socialexplorer.com.

If you click on More Maps you'll get to choose other variables (by tract for the U.S.) such as Race and Ethnicity, Income, Housing and Families, and Education.
