Visualizing Poverty Growth In Dallas
Frontburner | J Palmer
See that dark, brooding image above? That is an attempt to illustrate the increases and decreases in poverty in different neighborhoods in Dallas. The red arrows represent where poverty has increased. They are thicker where populations are denser and longer where poverty has increased more. The green arrows represent where poverty has decreased. You can see them clustered around Uptown and fanning out through the central part of North Dallas. The biggest decrease looks to be in West Dallas.
