9/1 Feedback: race/income overlay #57

Closed annacd114 closed 4 years ago

Richmond: more Latinx moving in than Black, loss of Black households/turnover. So gentrification of sorts, but race/ethnicity-specific.

Consider showing racial change by specific groups on the map as a layer

From Anna C: I think something like the race x income change map as a layer would help with interpretation: 
https://www.urbandisplacement.org/rentchangemap
 i.e. loss of low-income Black residents in a specific tract, as a layer

Questions about why race isn’t part of the methodology

EPA - this is also interesting there with higher-income Asian HHs moving in

Fernando echoing importance of showing race as an overlay in Berkeley/South Berkeley

Darris noting that El Cerrito looks about right, it hasn’t changed much in a long time

Will: same for East CoCo County, like Pittsburg/Bay Point/Antioch. People getting gentrified out to Stockton, but others are very much still moving in. Do these maps capture in-flow of various groups as well as out-flow? Would help show race-specific patterns in Fairfield, Vallejo, Stockton too. These are rare places in the region where Black HHs are moving.

Fernando - South Berkeley: Black community there facing intense gentrification pressures, those are a bit lost on the map. The Leconte & Elmwood student areas aren’t really being shown, but they are losing Black HHs too. Like the tract around telegraph & Ashby being Becoming Exclusive seems like it could be off.

closing for now since we already have an issue for this overlay, but note that the feedback related to this issue lives here and also in my notes
