Census Data Analysis

The neighborhood of choice is census tract Bronx #211.

The research objective for this paper is: Use quantitative data from the census to compare and contrast the demographics, socioeconomic indicators, and housing characteristics of [your neighborhood of choice] today with those of the same neighborhood in 1980. You must also refer to how these changes compare or contrast with those in the city as a whole. This entails making geographical and historical comparisons.

Describe patterns in the data. Comment on significant variations from NYC values. Do not be afraid to speculate, as long as you can show how you came to your conclusion. Do not use raw numbers when making comparisons, instead use percentages.

Questions to think about:
What characteristics seem to be relatively consistent between 1980 and 2018 in your chosen neighborhood? How do these compare to New York City as a whole?
What characteristics show the greatest differences? Why might they be so different?
Think about whether some factors may affect others (education and income, for example).
Is any of the data surprising?

I’ve attached a document to that described how to access the data.
