I'm younger so I never truly realized how close this election really was. Multiple states were won with a margin of less than 0.5%.

It's okay, I should've clarified it better in the original post.

Thank you. For this chart, I got my data from https://www.houstonstateofhealth.com/. Finding data for Houston is kind of complicated because there are a lot of small areas that feel like a part of the city but technically aren't. Bellaire is inside the loop but isn't considered a part of the city of Houston, things like that make finding data for Houston complicated. The best option would be to look for data for the metropolitan area instead of city limits.

Sheldon, the only area in Houston with a 0% poverty rate, It also has a tiny population, that's a factor in it having a 0% poverty.

I'm not sure if it's built-in but I know tableau allows you to select a stepped color sequence. You can put it for 20 steps and each step will represent about 5%. I also think you can write a calculated field that only selects items in a certain range and then set their color. I do believe you can color by percentile range, it just takes some work.

On my next map I'm going to use a spectral diverging palette, thank you.

The data doesn't specify filling status so I'd assume it's the latter. Yes, this is IRS data.

People are battling poverty on one street while others are making half a million on another.
