I chose to use the measurement as percentages of households that make less than $10,000 annually to demonstrate the amount of severe poverty in differing census tracts in central Connecticut. In the “lying” map, someone that takes a quick look would make the assumption that there isn’t much severe poverty or disparity in the region. Well that’s because one color represents zero to thirty percent of people in the tract that are below the $10,000 threshold. Zero to thirty is a very large range, and few tracts, even in the poorest cities, will have more than 30 percent. The second map is much less deceptive, and actually depicts the income inequality on the West Hartford-Hartford border with its better use of cutpoints of percentages.
