Brighton demographic data and mapping

[Parmenter, Barbara M]

Hi Kay,

 

Try Social Explorer (http://socialexplorer.com) for making maps and reports of neighborhoods. You can write me directly and I can send a tip sheet I wrote for community groups, or I may be able to help out myself (I live down the street from the church).  You can use the Census directly to get the data, but it’s a bit more complex.

 

Policy Map is another good online mapping program for this kind of information – http://policymap.com

 

Regards, Barbara

Thanks for sending this.

The Brighton-Allston Congregational Church is trying to get a handle on who lives in Brighton.

I am wondering if you folks have any statistics regarding Brighton's population that may give students, how many transient and permanent neighbors, race, religion, immigrants...anything that would help to identify the groups of people who are living here, percentages would be good.  

If you don't have this info, where could I find It?

Policy Map is great, thanks for the link to that. They have great visuals of much of the Census Bureau for both the decennial data and the annual American Community Survey. I also love that they have page showing their data sources, so you can go and get the raw data for yourself if you desire ( http://www.policymap.com/our-data-directory.html )

There are certain tables that seem to be easier to deal with on the census fact-finder site site ( http://factfinder.census.gov/ ). If you type in the zip code (e.g. 02135), lots of great tables on things like number of renters and owners, age groups for renters vs. owners, income, mode of transit to work, etc. There's also lots of useful data in the Guided and Advanced Searches, but I find the "Advanced" interface very difficult to use, and even the "Guided" search took me months to figure out how to use.

We had a solo turkey strolling down Ashford Street yesterday. Did anyone
else see it? I've never seen one in Allston before, but I heard of one
here a few years ago. Quite colorful.

You can see lots of them on Lake street in Brighton and in Chestnut Hill.

Don,

Get used to seeing them, i see them all the time, unfortunately, people leave trash cans open for easy access for many creatures. Landlords on my street rent to young professionals and college students that really don't care about keeping there surroundings clean.
