New Zealand's most deprived areas




New Zealand Herald has posted an interactive map of deprivation in New Zealand using the latest deprivation index.

  1. Any comments about cartographic representation?

  2. Colour choices are clear but rather strange - definitely not obvious. Lines are far too detailed and would be better generalised at different scales. Map could be more informative and the layout makes it seem rather boring than clean. Not the best set I've seen but at least its legible and easy to understand.

    1. And thank God they didn't go with the colour choices from the last NZ dep atlas (red-green to jog your memory - a complete colour blind sin).

  3. Yes the 2001 dep atlas wasn't so great. 2006 was better light to dark red. Looking to have one for SPACE next week.
