the darker the brown,...


...figuratively, the more asthma cases (per zip code). the darkest is between 257 and 505, the lightest 0-55. not sure why this is moving me this morning... probably has something to do with my public transportation obsession... though here it's a love/ hate: the thing that gets these people to work kills their children.

Yes, and it should be noted that a majority of the darkest brown (above Central Park) is Harlem.

Lots of debate, protest, and controversy as to why so many of Manhattan's bus depots have ended up in a historically minority region of the city.

Click here for an article in 2003 that addresses these issues.
