Then I zoomed in and saw that the poverty circle centered on the state capital, so it didn't illustrate regions within the state. Still, it was a cool Q&D finger exercise. I enjoyed the Walmart growth map. I was looking at my home town in MO and was fascinated at how it stayed in the non-poverty zone.

I found another chart that shows what kind of a mess we are in right now. It shows how this economy compares to the economies of the past depressions and recessions.

I just took what the US Census Bureau gave me. However, the last definition change was in 1981 and the map only goes back to 1980, so it's not too bad. @Dave – I didn’t.
