Course: DS4200 Information Presentation and Visualization
The primary motivation for our project was to tell a compelling story regarding the current condition and needs of District 7 of Boston. In creating this story, we considered various ideas for our visualizations, such as budget allocations, homeownership, transportation accessibility, health of small business, and other demographic information about the districts of Boston. To guide our analysis, we had the opportunity to meet with District 7 councilor Tania Anderson and discuss some of the challenges that neighborhoods in District 7 – Roxbury, Dorchester, Fenway, and part of the South End are currently encountering. High dropout rates, increasing mental health issues, a lack of public infrastructure, equity, commercial real estate, and most importantly, neglect from Boston leaders, has put District 7 in a bind. From our interview, we gained numerous key insights regarding the current state of District 7 residents and came up with a few guiding questions to base our work off of.
