A choropleth map of the United States with orange dots showing concentrated poverty in metropolitan America. Before the pandemic, the nation’s metro areas had nearly 5,800 neighborhoods with poverty rates of 30 percent or higher. One in 15 Americans lived in these places. And there were more children in these high-poverty neighborhoods than in all of New England.

Earlier this year, I spoke to students as part of the New England Scholastic Press Association’s conference about how to create impactful data visualization.
