Here's an unusual yet interesting stat about my neighborhood

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Thanks to City Data's awesome new neighborhood status feature: http://www.city-data.com/neighborhood/Whittier-Minneapolis-MN.html, I learned that in my group of six city blocks, 29% of adults 25 or older do not have a high school diploma. Yet 40% have a college degree and 10% have a postgrad degree.

That's...interesting. I wonder how many such areas are like that.

I remember looking over some blocks at the western end of Becerra's House District, basically where Central LA shades over into macro-Hollywood, and finding the place full of young single whites and poor hispanic families... probably in the same kind of homes.
That should produce similar stats, I suppose.

I like this website. Interesting results for my area and others.

This zip code in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles has a pretty dramatic divide. Things change drastically as one moves south of Franklin Ave (the street about bifurcates the zip code from east to west south between Los Feliz and Hollywood Boulevards).






And below is a map of educational levels in the neighborhood I used to live in back when. I lived on that street that makes a loop right to the left of the "S" in "Silver Lake,"  towards the middle bottom of the map.

Add "and black" after "Hispanic" in that part and you have described my neighborhood to a T.

Urban geography is funny. Parts of Midtown Memphis have blocks of mansions near blocks of boarded up slums. Do a realtor.com search for 38112.
