This map shows demographic and income data in Detroit. Assuming an assignment where the poverty fighting charity I work for would like to alleviate suffering among impoverished children in Detroit. Detroit is a Michigan city that always ranks among America's poorest urban centers. Orange circles have below average median household income, the darker shades indicate households with a very low income-close to poverty level. The size of the circles: larger circles indicate a greater number of children in the area.What stands out is the obvioud pattern of low-income households in the city center combined with areas of high child population. This pattern helps answer where in Detroit our charity will focus its resources to help children living in poverty-in places shown on the map where there is a cluster of several large dark Orange circles like Dearborn and Pontiac (for example). The charity may and will offer free after school care and/Or but not limited to breakfast programs.

This dataset contains information on the ratio of family income to the federal poverty level at the zip code tabulation area (ZCTA) level. Each column beginning with a "T_" lists the total number of families that fall into each income category. In addition, the dataset contains information on margins of error and the reliability of each estimate, to help guide decisionmakers in more effectively using the data contained in this file. There are approximately 1,000 records in this dataset. ZCTA boundaries are designed to approximate actual zip code boundaries, but are fixed to allow for consistent data analysis (whereas regular zip code boundaries change frequently). Field description metadata is available for download. For more information on poverty data from the Census Bureau, please visit American Factfinder (www.factfinder2.census.gov).
