This dashboard shows where families with housing choice vouchers live in Durham. The map is of Durham County, and each shaded section represents a census tract1. The shading represents what percentage of housing choice voucher residents live in that census tract.
The census tract shading remains the same in every graph. The bubbles will change based on the neighborhood characteristic selected. For all of the neighborhood characteristics, a larger circle represents a greater quantity. For some characteristics, such as the percentage of households living below the poverty line, high rates are of concern. For some characteristics, such as median household income, low rates are of concern.
