BIG DATA tools: Eviction rates in the US

[Kris盐盐]

BIG DATA is being hyped as the greatest tool since the printing press, and whist I generally disagree [I like learning about the outliers], "The Eviction Lab at Princeton University has built the first nationwide database of evictions. Find out how many evictions happen in your community. Create custom maps, charts, and reports. Share facts with your neighbors and elected officials." _{https://evictionlab.org}

 

This is an incredible tool for teaching about poverty, community, an even globalization.
