Rich blocks, poor blocks

From the Reno Gazette Journal:

The American Community Survey project of the U.S. Census has posted a fascinating money map of neighborhoods.

You can sort the map by income or by rent. The photo above shows Reno areas by income — red is lower and green is higher. The boundaries are U.S. Census tracts. Once you're into the map, clicking on the different areas shows you more detailed info for that area.

Check out the map here.
