Re-releasing this after others reviewed it:
I calculated a map of changes from Census 2010 to 2020 in California by population, race & housing. Colors are coded by percent increase. Select a subject then hover the mouse to see demographics.
Disclaimers⬇️

- Colors were originally percentage increase/decrease, now they are total number increased/decrease for more visual accuracy
- All races besides Latinos are non-Hispanic
- Housing Units include Occupied and Vacant. Vacant count is included.

Black tracts are tracts that changed names and I could not find patterns with. Most changed tracts were identified by my algo and were calculated into the 2010 tract baseline map. So 101.01 and 101.02 in 2020 is put under 101 (2010).

Yes, if you want to see the total increase in population in a tract/ all races, toggle the selection drop down to "Total Population (2020)"

RCD means @RCDHousing. I made my github when I was working in affordable housing construction for a project to analyze the affordable housing waitlists and later it just became my personal account thx.

How To Use:
- Toggle a race or total pop. to see its count in 2010 and 2020 and the net difference.
- Go to housing units to see the number of homes. Check differences to see how much home construction or demolition
- Check Vacancy to see increase and decrease in vacant homes

Example:
- Toggle to Asian
- the 2010 and 2020 counts are at the top right and the net difference. There are 612 fewer Asians in this tract my mouse is hovering over in 2020 than 2010

Example 2:
- Toggle to Housing Units
- There are 5,403 more homes in this tract in 2020 than there were in 2010
