DFW Mapped by Income

And other cities, at Radical Cartography. Pretty cool site. The Dallas map clearly illustrates Leinberger's notion of the "Favored Quarter."

The original site notes that only a few cities have a "doughnut effect"; in looking at the maps, it seemed to me that only NY and Chicago seem to have a wealthy inner city core surrounded by a lower income near periphery. All the other cases follow the "wedge" model. The contention that it has something to do with availability of non-auto transport seems like a weak (or at least unsupported) contention. It ignores the history of the construction of cheap housing in many areas of large cities starting in the early 18th century - I suspect many of those areas (and industrial areas) are never going to have high income residents.
