Asian American Dot Density Map
A one to one dot density map that color codes Asian Americans as the 23 groups identified by the American Community Survey
The 2019 American Community Survey estimates that there are 22.19 million persons living in the United States who self-identify as asian in answer to the Census race question. Asian Americans are highly visible on national maps, but almost always as an uniform group represented by 1 color. The Asian American Dot Density map represents each Asian American as 1 dot color coded by 21 different racial groups found in Census data. The map reveals the complex spatial dynamics of specific asian racial groups in places across the country.
I will update this project with 2020 data as it becomes available.
