An interactive simulation

No one chooses where they are born.

Baltimore County has 216 populated census tracts, and the one a child happens to be born into shapes their housing, safety, health, mobility, and income before they take a single step.

Press the button to draw a birth. The odds match reality: each tract's chance is weighted by its actual population, and everything that follows is built from real data about that tract.
