About the ”Baltimore Divided: How Historically Neglected Neighborhoods Are Rising Up” series: Capital News Service journalists sought to understand how wealth inequality was changing in Baltimore after the last census. They compared neighborhood-by-neighborhood income data and then set out to speak to residents about the changes they were experiencing. These stories were produced by the Urban Affairs Reporting class at the Philip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland.

This interactive graphic displays the changes in per capita income in Baltimore census tracts from 2010 through 2020, while offering context on the neighborhoods’ racial and ethnic makeup. The tracts bordered by red lines show neighborhoods that had been redlined, where banks or insurance companies avoided doing business due to the resident’s race or ethnicity. The “Data Explorer” tab allows you to see the underlying data represented on the map. This graphic was created by Shreya Vuttaluru who used the Shiny package in R.
