<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nEach bubble represents a size-scaled percentage change in population of Black Nashville citizens. This percent change is the difference between the five-year average percentage of Black citizens between the five-year span 2007-2011, and the five-year span 2012-2016. Each bubble is located around where a neighborhood would be on a map of Nashville. The green box at the top is equivalent to a five percent change in total population of the area. The warmer colors indicate neighborhoods such as Cumberland Heights, Goodlettsville, and Neely\u2019s Bend, which have an influx of Black citizens. The cooler colors indicate neighborhoods such as Edgehill, Germantown, and Greenwood, which have an efflux of Black citizens.

Originally I just chose the shading randomly and it’s not used to express the data aside from representing whether there is an influx or efflux of people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about cities, towns, and the places which we call home; I\u2019ll be graduating at the end of this year, and I\u2019ll need to define a new home for myself wherever that may be.
