The scope
Neighborhoods Each row of the data is a census tract, so results describe neighborhoods. They do not describe the people in them.
The chapter sits in Part IX, The whole map, in the volume The ledger. Its unit of analysis is neighborhoods. See how the book treats evidence.
The part has a planned explorer: Neighborhood lookup.
