Here is a racial dot map showing every person in the U.S. and their race. Very cool, very huge map. It will take a while to load up after you open the link. But it is very much worth it.

http://demographics.coopercenter.org/DotMap/index.h…

Here is some !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! on the map from its creator.

This map is an American snapshot; it provides an accessible visualization of geographic distribution, population density, and racial diversity of the American people in every neighborhood in the entire country. The map displays 308,745,538 dots, one for each person residing in the United States at the location they were counted during the 2010 Census. Each dot is color-coded by the individual's race and ethnicity. The map is presented in both black and white and full color versions. In the color version, each dot is color-coded by race.

All of the data displayed on the map are from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2010 Summary File 1 dataset made publicly available through the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . The data is based on the "census block," the smallest area of geography for which data is collected (roughly equivalent to a city block in an urban area).

The map was created by !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , a demographic researcher at the University of Virginia's Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! from the MIT Media Lab deserves credit for the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for the project. This map builds on his work by adding the Census Bureau's racial data, and by correcting for mapping errors.
