The scope

Places Each row of the data is a place such as a county or a neighborhood, so results describe places. They do not describe the people in them.

The chapter sits in Part XI, Below the county line, the political map. Its unit of analysis is places. See how the book treats evidence.

The part has an explorer: Neighborhoods.
