Abstract
In the context of debates about segregation within the UK, this paper maps the residential
geography of two groups of White British school children, one of which was in secondary
school in 2011 and the other in 2017. To present that geography, hexograms are introduced
as a complement to visually balanced cartograms, both of which seek to address the
problems of invisibility and distortion encountered with more conventional choropleth and
cartogram maps. The nature of these problems is introduced, our solutions discussed, and
the methods applied to the case study, which allow changes in the geography to be seen.
