Mapping Census 2010: The Geography of American Change
These multiple replications of a map of the U.S. show different sets of statistics in visual ways with choropleth maps (maps that display numerical-data values using shades and colors). The book covers statistics that are of high interest in four sections: the distribution of population in density and age, housing units and households, diversity, and, finally, race and ethnicity. Maps compare statistics to the previous census either by showing percentage changes from 2000 to 2010 or by comparing maps from each year across double-page spreads. There is little text outside of the introduction, but the maps speak for themselves. A good resource for visualizing statistics and census research. --Elaine Lindstrom
