3-D View of KCMO Population

A map showing the center points constructed from 2010 census blocks within Kansas City, Missouri. The block points loosely follow the pattern of population density within Kansas City. 

The same map as above, but with a regular grid of polygons added to it along with a few labels for the cities enveloped by Kansas City.

In this map, the population values have been transferred from the block points to the grid cells, totaled for each cell, and the cells symbolized by total population. The result is a generalized map of population density.

The cells from the above map extruded and color coded by total population and observed from a southeast perspective.
