Diversity in the United States of America

Jeffrey Chen, a fellow Presidential Innovation Fellow, R expert, and all-round amazing human being, took a few hours out of his spare time and created a cool visualization of the diversity data of the CENSUS.

Is anyone surprised that?

1. Queens, NY is the most diverse county, followed by Alameda, CA and Fort Bend, TX.
2. Nebraska has the top three whitest counties.
   
3. Missouri has the top three blackest counties.
   
4. Texas has the top ten counties that have the highest Hispanic population percentages.
5. San Francisco, Santa Clara, Alameda and San Mateo (all in California) have the highest concentrations of Asians.
   
6. The distribution of black counties is concentrated in the South and East

Yes, I am aware that the Census has an interactive map.

However, this very focused visualization tells a specific story and highlights what most are afraid to confront.

What is your take on the data?
