What this measure is
Each dot stands for the number of people shown under the legend, fewer per dot as you zoom in, as counted in the 2020 Census. Dots are placed at random inside the census block where those people live and kept off the streets, so they show where people live, not exact homes. In the race view, White, Black, Asian and other races are non-Hispanic, and Hispanic or Latino people can be of any race.
