For my paper map, I would like to use the City of Richmond poverty statistics to recreate the map titled “White Population and Richmond Poverty Rate, 2014.” After “living” in Richmond for over a year and a half now, I am interested to see how the poverty rate as a population interacts with a specific race. The legend indicates the white population in poverty by a rate of 50 per white dot and shows the overall population poverty rate in shades of red. I would like to change the dot representation of the white population because with the lighter shades which are close to the color of the dots, it is difficult to see the difference in dot and shade. I could also incorporate a different outline color for the Richmond city limits so that it is more distinguishable from the dots. I also intend to add labels for the surrounding counties which would help to make this map better.
