These frustrations with journalism were somehow compensated by the freedom to pursue topics of personal interest, such as racial segregation, which he tackled in his famous “America is more diverse than ever – but still segregated” (2018.) It's a sobering piece consisting of a narrative that weaves maps of racial stratification and an interactive feature where readers can look for their own cities and zoom to their neighborhoods or blocks:

This started as a passion project that I worked on during my spare time. It emerged from my personal experiences. I'm a Black American from the San Francisco Bay area, so I have an interest in the interactions between racial and ethnic segregation, gentrification, and diversity variation.

That's why the project lets readers toggle between two different types of maps. The first type are dot density maps of races and ethnicities. These look beautiful, but they show you just where people live; a dot density map is just putting one dot per person in some kind of space, and you end up with population maps.

If you want to say anything meaningful about the data, you need some way of measuring relationships. The second set of maps addresses this. They show a statistical index of racial and ethnic uniformity or diversity called the multigroup entropy index (Figure 12.3) for every census tract. Green areas are more evenly distributed in terms of race and ethnic groups, so they are more integrated than segregated.
