This is kind of poorly done. Zoom in on my city (Philadelphia). Look at South Philly. It's half green! shocking until you realize this is the giant I-2 Industrial zoned sectors for shipping, the shopping centers, warehouses, etc.
- thedufer 6y agoI don't think it's poorly done, so much as it isn't what you expected it to be. The text below the image pretty clearly explains the effect that you're seeing: > Commercial and industrial areas are also likely to be green on this map. The local shopping mall, an office park, a warehouse district or a factory may have their own Census Blocks. But if people don’t live there, they will be considered “uninhabited”. So it should be noted that just because a block is unoccupied, that does not mean it is undeveloped.
