Being from Atlanta, this maps is drastically incorrect as to our wealth distribution. The locations on I20 East and just above 285/75on the south side have distinctly the lowest incomes and most crime. (Though, there is an amphitheater at the south hotspot)
- paul_f 13y agoAgreed. The Atlanta map destroys the hypothesis. The money is in the "green" norther suburbs.
- jcizzle 13y agoI'm not seeing the same thing. The big chunk of red on the south side of the city is the ATL airport. ("Checking in! #delta #hartsfield) Georgia Tech, Downtown, Midtown, VaHi, Morningside, Druid Hills, Buckhead, Brookhaven, Marietta, Lake Claire, west side of Decatur and the south end of Sandy Springs are the areas I see in red here. These are all wealthy areas. All along the northern perimeter - which is mostly just white-collar businesses, is mostly red tinted and all along the rest of the perimeter is green. Other than Hartsfield Jackson, there is a pretty solid cone of red emanating from downtown into the north. I would say this is 100% spot on with mapping wealth to iPhones, although, I am not sold on the numbers that generated the map.
- daigoba66 13y agoYeah, the idea that this somehow maps to wealth is rather silly considering the data comes from geotagged tweets.
