Kyle Walker, from Texas Christian University, has been working on a mapping project where the
US immigrant population is represented with dots colored in accordnace to the immigrants’ general region of origin.
The regions include:
- Mexico (red);
- Latin America and the Caribbean, other than Mexico (blue);
- East and Southeast Asia (green);
- South Asia (aqua);
- Sub-Saharan Africa (purple);
- North Africa & Southwest Asia (pink);
- Europe (orange);
- Oceania (yellow);
- Canada (brown)
Demographic data are from the 2009-2013 American Community Survey at the
Census tract level; both geographic and demographic Census data come
from the National Historical Geographic Information System.Walker used the ACS table B05006, “Place of Birth for the Foreign-Born Population
in the United States.” Each dot represents approximately 20 immigrants
in that Census tract from a given region, and the dots are placed
randomly within Census tracts.
