Chapter 4, Mexicans

The following web maps are associated with the research we did for this chapter, and we publish some of them and others in the book as static, paper maps. The book provides a full understanding of their content, data sources, methods, and why we produced them and not others.

These web maps have the advantage over the ones in the book of being interactive. You can use the menu along the top of each map to open an information pane or the legend and to search for specific places or addresses. You can zoom in and pan. And you can click on any census tract to bring up a pop-up box with details of the variables in the legend as well as many others.
