Image: Demographic Maps of the United States

American Ethnic Geography Site at Valparaiso

This site is a compilation of demographic maps that are handy if you want to generalize social trends across regions. The colors are especially evocative.
The maps include categories such as religion and politics along with others useful for pursuits besides flame wars.


This selection of the editors' region comes from a map of average median income. We live in the slate-blue section between the two darker regions on the western coast. Our households have more in common with yellow and green - hopefully, in this case, the colors of spring-like growth.
