Here's the map to help someone get started: http://www.citypopulation.de/php/usa-phoenix.php
Just looked around my neighborhood and it looks like I have already done a fairly decent job of knocking out a few census tracts.

Nice find! Fwiw, I dropped this in a text editor and there are 991 in Phoenix, so quite a lot less than New York ...

Re: Trekking New York, One Census Tract at a Time
Well I just hiked most of my census tract this morning on my morning walk/workout. Anyone want the hidden details on the canals and paths around Rose Mofford Park?
Did find the pop culture equivalent of caveman drawings along the canals a few months ago. Found some graffiti that I will guess is at least 30 years old. All band names that were popular when I was in high school.

Some of those cave men still live down there. That's why I call it the "homeless highway" ...

Off-topic, but this is very common and has to do with SEO (Search Engine Optimization). The online headline is written specifically to attract "clicks" (which equals ad revenue) when people search for certain terms. Some news sites have headlines that are deceptively misleading, but show up well in search results!kingsnake wrote:* Interesting that the online headline is different than the hardcopy (which I subscribe to

Re: Trekking New York, One Census Tract at a Time
We think alike, I've been calling it the same thing since I moved back here. I've gotten to the point where I am starting to recognize the same guys and see them on a regular basis. Can't imagine what it's like to live under a tarp along the canals, especially with summer coming up.kingsnake wrote:Some of those cave men still live down there.

Census tracts???? Why bother? Does Mr. Gates have some pathological aversion to fun? Or had someone already completed the NYC version of SAMBA's Tucson Challenge, e.g. http://hikearizona.com/photoset.php?ID=21240?

There's been times in my life where I could barely afford to eat, thankfully and hopefully in the distant past, so yeah, spending a Phoenix summer on the streets would suck royal.

@kingsnake
Yo KS,
Got a bike? I'll be meeting a few of my like minded, malt beverage loving peeps at Joe & Vicky's Place, https://www.facebook.com/JoeAndVickysPlace, at 1 PM today to add yet another chapter to SAMBA's Tucson Challenge. If your life insurance is current, and you've got access to a suitable stash of cash to cover bail, then we'd love some company.
