    It's an interactive U.S. Map where every dot represents 1 person. It allows you to see the racial demographics of not only where you live, but every single city/town in America.

    http://demographics.coopercenter.org/DotMap/index.html

    Broken down as follows:

    1 Dot = 1 Person

    Blue = White
    Green = African American
    Red= Asian
    Orange = Hispanic
    Brown = Other / Native American / Multi-Racial

    For Instance Here's Dallas - Follow the link to zoom in and see the individual neighborhoods

    Very cool map, but I look forward to the day that "Asian" is broken up into "South Asian" and "East Asian"

    It seems to indicate that African Americans never got out of the South, that half of the United States to the West is relatively unpopulated to this day, that if the Rocky Mountains were to fall into the ocean there is a whole lot of people with prime real estate waiting, that nobody in their right mind wants to live in Upstate NY or Maine, that moist of South Florida is strangely unpopulated, and that Canada could probably invade with little civilian resistance.

    Very cool site! It kind of reaffirms what I've known about certain areas in Houston.
    The first thing I thought of when I saw this map is of "Where's Waldo"....with millions of Waldo's all over the place!...:grin:

    Check out the large metropolitans like Chicago, Philedelphia etc..and you'll see them. But yes, there was been a large migration of African Americans Back to the south over the last few decades.

    lol, you are correct sir. Thats a lot of desserts, mountains and plains in those areas.

    those are heavily wooded areas. Cold Cold heavily wooded areas..so you are probably right.

    Zoom in on the map and you'll see that part of South Florida is The Everglades, several National Wildlife Preserves, and several National Wildlife Management areas - so yeah, nobody lives in those places.

    Lol, first city I went to look at after Houston. We're a paragon of integration by comparison. Speaking of which -- look at the neighborhood just south of the University of Houston main campus. It's a rainbow.

    Cool idea, but map is slightly offensive. People of color should not be marginalized as a simple dot on a map.

    This is what I like about Houston. We are mostly all mixed together here. The Crips don't have big strongholds like they do in DFW.
