NYC-The Big (Poor) Apple


This is a dot-density map, showing the low-income parts of New York City. According to the map, the dots indicate residents of NYC that earn an annual income of less than $35,000 and commute more than an hour to and from work.

The media, specifically TV shows and movies, always depicts New York City to be a very affluent and flourishing city...this map clearly says otherwise. I guess this just goes to show that you can't always trust the media.
