This is really fun, and it has an option for colorblind people. Great find.

EDIT: Bed-Stuy is interesting.

I used to live in the Bed-Stuy/Crown Heights area and it's remarkable to see how the census track breakdowns--which are practically block by block in some areas of New York City--really do reflect the dynamics of the neighborhood.

Interesting map for Minnesota, looks about what I'd expect it to look like. Though some areas I thought were more affluent in the metro area are actually quite lower income than the max which I thought they would be.

Unsurprising that the lowest-rent/lowest-income areas for the Twin Cities that overlap are by far also the worst areas for crime, and the most notorious areas for known violent crimes and gun deaths. Not shocking to see North Minneapolis, as an example, almost completely red for income levels and also one of the most feared neighborhoods in the cities.
