This is a pretty serious flaw, as it's assigning a winner-takes all color to each building. Is the data available to do color-blending to show proportions of different races?
Also, whenever I see a map like this, I wonder if there's a way to take the current state of a region, and combine it with Schelling's segregation model ( http://nifty.stanford.edu/2014/mccown-schelling-model-segregation/ http://nifty.stanford.edu/2014/mccown-schelling-model-segreg... ) to estimate the percentage of similar neighbors desired.
