Socio-Economic Contrast Charts - Census 2000 Profiles - Education, Income, Housing by Race

Each .pdf file is a 32-page report (charts and tables) depicting socio-economic characteristics by race and ethnicity from the 2000 census -- including percentage calculations. Over 7,500 files are posted. The charts and accompanying interactive maps were prepared for local groups who need to present census info quickly and don't have access to desktop GIS software.

The charts were posted in the fall of 2002 - thousands have been downloaded. Some have been filed as exhibits in federal courts for civil rights or voting rights litigation in Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, New York, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Wyoming.

The SocioEcon Mapper has also been online since 2002. As of early 2007, FairData remains the only publicly available source for nationwide block group-level interactive maps showing socioeconomic characteristics. (The Census Bureau is also a nationwide single source, but the block group maps are rendered on a county-by-county basis.)

Note: FairData maps are not compatible with FireFox 1.5 or 2.0 (click for details)..
