So, what do you think? Now that your data is organized as a visual text in a chart or graph, how does that inform/influence your thinking and writing? Explain.
More than anything it shows how some places are similar, and how others are not. It also demonstrates how wealthy some places in the bay area are. Most of the cities in San Mateo, with the exception of East Palo Alto and a few others, the rate of poverty is well below 10%. Considering that the national average for poverty is about 15%, the people in San Mateo particularly are sheltered from the rest of the experiences of the country. However, because places like East Palo Alto exist in the bay area, the residents of the more affluent areas have to be aware of the disparity of wealth around them.
