Mapping London Riots
  • 10TH AUG 2011

Data journalist Matt Stiles has taken the Guardian's Data Blog data on deprivation - and the riot incidents over the last few days and mashed the two up together. What do you think? Is there a correlation between the two?

This interactive map, made with Google Fusion Tables, shows recent riot locations in greater London as red points. The colors represent “indices of deprivation” by “lower super output areas,” which appear similar to blocks or tracts in the U.S. Census. Deeper reds represent higher poverty, while blues represent more income.
