3D Poverty Map of Houston
DATE | Mar. 2018
TOOL | QGIS, Illustrator, Laser cut
This 3D portraits the elevation map of poverty in central part of Houston. The lower the area, the more poor people live there. The highest areas have a percentage of 0-10% population live under poverty line, the lowest areas have over 40% of population in poverty. The "holes" and the "hills" act as a metaphor of social hierarchy. Poor people — who are at a lower level in the society — are struggling in the holes, while the rich enjoy their life on the hills.
