Because they’re probably not trained analyst who know what their doing with the data and know to use contrasting colors. You can tell because the first thing they teach you is that correlation does not equal causation. But when you have a narrative to push you can find whatever you want to make it fit.

This might help. Hold on to your seat though because you’re not gonna believe that center city (you know, where all the jobs are) increased in wealth more than North Philly.
So as a journalist would you discuss the reasons why their are more higher paying jobs in business districts than in areas that have been flooded with violence. Would it make sense that the few jobs in this area got even worse because nobody wants to go there let alone shop there? And maybe the lawyer on market street doesn’t have the same issue?
Mind you - I didn’t mention race once there. Once you start grouping people together then the logical discussion is over.
