Reading at work in San Antonio, it’s Bexar County, Texas. Browsing on your phone in Minneapolis, you get Hennepin County, Minnesota. But what’s different is that the article itself is almost self-aware: It knows what county you’re in and alters the story text depending on your location. The Best and Worst Places to Grow Up has all the characteristics of other features from The New York Times’ data-and-analysis vertical: clear and concise data visualizations designed to add context and understanding.
So when the team at The Upshot wanted to put together a companion interactive piece, they set out to answer the question many readers would ask: What does that look like where I live? When you’re writing about how place - be that a neighborhood or a city - affects a child’s chances of getting out of poverty, location is obviously central to the story.
