Fig. 2 Map of Chicago's spatial, commuting, and public transit networks by network degree and STI rate. Community areas are represented as nodes positioned according to the geographic coordinates of their centroids. The color of nodes is based on STI tercile categories in 2002 (blue for the bottom tercile, yellow for the middle tercile, and orange for the upper tercile). Across all three maps, the size of nodes represents outdegree (the number of ties to different connected areas based on the corresponding tie definition). The leftmost graph's ties are based on spatial contiguity. The middle graph's ties are based on the 0.5% commuting cutoff, and only ties between STI clusters are shown (ties within each of the STI tercile categories are removed). The rightmost map shows ties between STI clusters based on the public transit network.
