Hmm… this graph is from Cheap Eats: How America Spends Money on Food by Derek Thompson (http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2013/03/cheap-eats-how-america-spends-money-on-food/273811/)
Spread Thin: Human Service Organizations in Poor Neighborhoods
“The spatial distribution of the nonprofit human services in Los angeles County is quite unequal. Neighborhoods (i.e., census tracts) with a high concentration of poor residents have a much lower density of nonprofit human services while neighborhoods that are economically well off are also richer in the density of nonprofit human services.”
Today the Westboro Baptist Church is picketing Vassar College, which they have labeled an “Ivy League Whorehouse.” I am extremely proud to have gone to a college that tolerates and celebrates diversity. I am also proud of the students, staff, and alumni that have taken this opportunity to strengthen the inclusiveness of our community.
