Using Data to Understand Economic Hardship in Chicago Neighborhoods
Friday, February 11, 2011
We just got back from the Economic Hardship in Chicago Neighborhoods Forum put on by Metropolitan Chicago Information Center at the Federal Reserve this morning. It was a convening of policy people, journalists and community-based leadership for MCIC to share data on how economic hardship is affecting particular metropolitan areas and how that impact varies by community. They will be releasing more data soon, but this map alone shows (with regards to access to home mortgage loans) some of the exciting mapping they’re doing:
Note: Open the map, place the cursor above an index dot to see what it represents. If you hit the arrow you can see over 2005-2010 how the issue has changed. On the right for each chart you can select specific communities too.
