Well friends, after 25 responses to the survey, it’s time to reveal what you all think is (and isn’t) cannibalism. It was an interesting survey, and after thinking about it a little, I might include some different questions in the next one.

So, is the crowd right? Tell me what you think in the comments!

So, this is kind of interesting.

I noticed a story on Utne Reader about some great visualizations that a gentleman named Eric Fischer made, using demographic information from the 2000 Census to map out which ethnicities lived where, to demonstrate the kind of de facto segregation that still happens in cities in the US.

That, in turn, led me to the Radical Cartography site, which has a very similar visualization of the ethnic makeup of Chicago, made by Bill Rankin.

For fun, I hopped into Google Fusion Tables, and did a quick visualization of the RedEye homicide data from Chicago, 1/1/2009, to 3/4/2010.

In Photoshop, I dropped the demographic map on top of the homicide map.  You can see the results below.  Notably, most of the homicides have happened in primarily black and hispanic neighborhoods, while the extremely-white near north side has virtually none.

(Edit — it was data from the 2000 census, not 2010)
