New Urban Arts
Zip Code: 02907
While looking though the New Urban Arts statistics of their enrolled participants and also looking at the zip codes they serve, I noticed several similarities and differences amongst the two. One thing I noticed is that the population based on race/ethnicity is predominately not white. Knowing that historically people of different races/ethnicities are oppressed by society (government, business, etc.), I am making the assumption that the residential buildings are mainly apartments and multi-level family homes. American FactFinder didn't have listed the people who don't identify as male or female, the website only showed the percentage of the population who identify as male and female.
Knowing that the poverty rate nationally is 34% and seeing that 02907's poverty rate is at 31%, that is almost at the national level. The similarities between NUA and 02907 are astounding, specifically about the closeness in the race/ethnicity category. I wanted to add in the LGBTQQ statistic that NUA has, but I couldn't find the zip code statistic on the web. I can't wait to hear wha the guest speaker has to say about NUA during class.
Hey Dustin,
ReplyDeleteYour blog is very informative. It gives a clear understanding. I like how you show the statistics side-by-side. It was easy to read and compare.
