Who speaks spanish at home?

I wanted to choose a topic that I could find data for so I decided to pick the topic"spanish spoken at home." Some states where spanish is spoken at home aren't that much of a surprise like California, Texas, and Florida. Some other states that are a bit of a surprise are Idaho, Nebraska, and Kansas. I tried to give my map a bit of a spanish/mexican theme with the color scheme, writing style, and maracas for the different classes represented within the legend. I obtained the data from American Fact Finder on the Census Bureau's website.

(1/29) Interactive population map

I actually believe I may have seen this map in intro to digital cartography class. I was just recently reacquainted with this interactive map that displays the population of five race groups (asian, black, white, hispanic, and other) with colored dots representing a particular number of a given race. Populations of these races were gathered by census tracts and every census tract within the United States is represented in this interactive map. The closer you zoom in, the smaller number of individuals is represented per dot. You can atually zoom down far enough to the level where small streets are even represented. I just think this map is a really interesting one. Many generalizations can be made from these maps (whether good or bad) just based off of where particular races live within the census tracts.
