Emphasizing the racial divide

Eric Fischer created maps of ethnic distribution for many metropolitan areas. He used the census data from 2000 and placed a dot on the map for every 25 people, coloring the dot according to race -- red for whites, blue for blacks, orange for Hispanic, etc. The map for Detroit is stark with most of the city in blue and most of the surrounding metro area in red The city boundary is easy to follow. I know the area is highly racist. A map like this demonstrates it very well. Rolling your mouse over the map will highlight rectangles, and once in a rectangle it will identify the region. Southfield, Inkster, Mexicantown, Pontiac, and Hamtramck are easily identifiable. Those of Middle-East descent were not given a distinct category in the 2000 census (nor in 2010) which would have given Dearborn a distinct color. There are links to the other hundred cities in the set.
