Poverty by District in Nepal, mapped
-Chandan Sapkota, who one of my friend Bigyan calls the “Ezra Klein of Nepal”, produces amazing analysis about Nepal, taking data sources from the obscure reports of government institutions and writing them up in accessible blog posts. When he posted about “Poverty by District in Nepal”, I thought that I'd map the poverty, since it is hard for me to place all the districts in Nepal, and I wanted to see what the visual spread of poverty was.
