6. The CPDV will now display both indicators simultaneously.

   

   The right side of the map shows the first indicator selected (Change in median household total income from 2015 to 2020 (%)) and the left side of the map the second one selected (Change in median employment income from 2019 to 2020 (%)).

   You can drag the bar that splits both sides of the map left or right to dynamically see the difference between both indicators. You can also drag and zoom into the map to focus on specific locations.
