Poverty Maps

 Here are two interesting ways to map poverty:

• Which U.S. Counties Have the Most People Living in Poverty? is a classic choropleth map created in Tableau. Look, I like Tableau, but for mapping there are just better options.
• All metro high-poverty neighborhoods looks at change: which neighborhoods are newly poor, persistently poor, deepening poor, or turning around. This map is created in ArcGIS Online.

Making The Grade?

Making The Grade? is a report how state public school science standards address climate change and comes with neat data viz created in Tableau: States at a Glance

I'm just not sure that Tableau is the way to data viz this...if the spatial patterns are interesting, then use a proper GIS app!
